[C320-list] Splashing this week.....

[Bruce Heyman]

With zinc as the active metal it looks like it should actually prohibit
corrosion.  We don't have a propeller fouling problem here in Southern
California but I wonder if it would help slow corrosion that seems to be the
lot in life for auto props?

What is the metal in the Cold Galvanizing Compound.  If it isn't bronze then
you are likely to be making a battery out of your prop.  I would have
thought that you would end up with galvanic corrosion or at the very least
making your zincs go away quicker.

Brad,

So it's a year later since you made this post.   How did the Cold
Galvanizing Compound work on the prop.   I down the bay a ways from you and
I'm interested to know.

Thanks,
Jason
