Hi, all- I received a call from my bottom cleaner's wife (she runs the business) letting me know that her husband noticed my "prop zinc" was in need of replacement. I wasn't really aware there was one actually attached to the prop, but I know there's one on the shaft just proximal to the strut.

Could anyone let me know if there should be prop zincs (I may have forgotten as it's been 2 years since the last haul out) and what size the shaft zinc is?

Ray

My OEM prop does not have an anode. I have two anodes between the hull and strut on my 1" shaft.

Thanks- Dave, Wayne- I finally thought to give Jim a call (the guy who cleaned the boat before the new guy) and he reminded me that I have a Maxprop with a 70mm zinc and the shaft is 1-1/4" (which now surprises me if you guys both have 1".. Jim said he might not be 100% sure on that one).. The shaft "zinc" does not need replacement yet, so I'll wait until the next haulout which is in about 6 months or so.
