[C320-list] Anti Corrosion Zinc

[Chris Burti]

I use two, change them annually and they always look like new when I
do. I took one off a friend's boat several years ago...looked perfect
on the outside...soft punk on the inside next to the shaft... I
decided long ago that they are too cheap to take a chance and that was
proof of the pudding for me.
