Prop Shaft
Zincs
Godfrey (sp?) seems to think they have the best zincs in the
world. I dunno, perhaps. At twice the price, I'd
rather put two WestMarine
Zincs on instead.
So... I install 2
zincs on my prop shaft in case I have a particularly nasty problem with nearby
boats. You may find that you have to torque them
down pretty tight. Usually helps to "gently" hammer a bit on
them after they seem tight. You'll find you can then tighten them up some
more.
Use the ones that are kinda "egg" shaped
rather than the doughnut or square ones...
Also, keep the zincs at least 6-8" in front of the Strut so
you don't block water flow through the cutlass bearing..
Maybe this is a wives tale, but
"what the heck...". Sounds
plausible... :)
Cheers!
