[C320-list] Anti Corrosion Zinc

[Paul Rickman]

Depends on the marina you stay in also. In my current marina the zink looks much 
like it did when I put it on.
In my last marina I used two and both took a beating.

Joe, as stephen stated--you cannot have too many zinc units installed---(maybe 
20 would be too many)  but the reason for them is to protect your metal parts 
from ''other'' boats stray currents--maybe even your own boat's. Zinc is a good 
idea and it needs to be checked often.  Ken,  OBUOY #219

I am a new owner and recently hauled my boat out for the season.  I noticed that 
the previous owner had a zinc mounted on the propeller shaft and it was pretty 
corroded.  I also noticed that similar size boats in the yard had 2 and 3 zincs 
on their shafts.  Is there any advantage/disadvantage in having more than one 
zinc on the shaft?

Thanks.
