[C320-list] Zinc

[Jeff Hare]

Hi All, 

We should be clear about which engines we're referring to so we don't confuse anyone.

The Yanmar 3GM30F does not have any engine or heat exchanger zincs.  I suspect the 3YM30F does not have engine or Heat Exchanger zincs either.

The Westerbeke and Perkins engines probably do have engine zincs.

Cheers!
-Jeff

Ahoy......On the engine,the heat exchanger is a tube that transfers heat from the engine coolant to raw water......probably on the aft side of
engine.....4 hoses attached....on the aft side of mine is a hex bolt that is hollow on the inside to hold a zinc..to save the exchanger from
corrosion.....Joe....#245
