Replacing the Prop Zinc


Replacing the prop zinc on Mikhaya.

 

 

When I hauled out in Nov-Dec 03, my prop zinc was gone (you only see the SS washer in the picture).  I don't really know just how long a zinc will last cause I have made so many electrical changes on the boat that could effect it. 

   The Outer nut had a locking cotter pin that was removed.  After that the SS nut was unscrewed.

  The zinc was in place but not secured, just a form fit.  I can't help but think how I would have done this underwater.

 

 

    The new CAMP Zinc (P3P4) with the cotter pin space filled out.

 

Installed and ready for the bottom paint.
