Hull zincs?

I have had my Tartan 37 for about 3 months, and I was wondering where are the hull zincs located? I have 1 zinc on the prop and 2 on the shaft.

I have the centerboard version

We also have one prop zinc and 2 shaft zincs. No zinc on the hull.

When we got our boat there was no bonding wire across the prop shaft's flexible coupling. We installed one and haven't noticed any huge change since doing that.

I do keep the two shaft zincs just in front of the cutlass bearing. I was on a boat that threw a shaft, that was scary. So the zinc keeps the shaft from backing out.
