[C320-list] Zinc

[Jeff Hare]

I agree with Alan on the 2 shaft zincs.  Very Cheap insurance.

The zincs on the engine are for the version (non "F") of the engine that
circulates raw water through the block, not the (F)resh water version that
circulates antifreeze through the block and raw water through the heat
exchanger. ...as I understand it and please correct me if I have that
wrong...

Cheers!

You still need a zinc on the prop shaft.  As a "belt and suspenders" guy, I
use 2 zincs on the shaft.

.Hi Allen


Does this mean the prop shaft as well or only the rear of the motor as you
described

The 3GM30F Yanmar's don't have engine zincs.  At the rear of the motor,
above the transmission, you will see a plate where the zinc used to go.  If
you doubt this, feel free to call Mack Boring at 908-964-0700.  These guys
are the Yanmar experts.

Page 40 of the engine manual for my Yanmar 3GM30F, serial number E28782,
talks about replacement of the Anticorrosion Zinc on the engine. However, it
does not show the location of it in the engine diagram picture. I would
appreciate it if someone could help me locate it.

Thank you.
