Can't rem
I have just purchased a C-28 and noticed at survey haulout, the shaft zinc behind the prop is without zinc. I have always had split shaft zincs ahead of the prop before so this is new to me. The "brass" portion of the after-prop zinc is still there but it is painted with Petit zinc paint. I can remove it and clean it up if necessry. Can I just buy the zinc portion or do I have to purchase the entire assembly? In either case, does anyone have a part number for Boatzincs.com? I don't even know what size the propshaft is.

What other zincs are on the boat that need checking? I know there are two on the trim tabs (one each) and both thrusters need zincs (also need part numbers for these). Where else are there any zincs? I have the Yanmar 6BY2 engine. Are there engine block zincs or raw water pencil zincs? Also a Mase generator. Does this have any?

Sorry about so many questions but the boat won't be delivered for another week or so and I want to get it into the water prepared.

Thanks for the help. Looking forward to being an active member.

The shaft zinc should be a "F" type and the shaft is 11/2". The thrusters, if they are the Imtra brand, are both Mfg # SM31180A. I'm not sure about the Yanmar, I have a Volvo D4 and it has two anodes, one in the raw water pump and one on the rear end of the heat exchanger. I have the NextGen generator and it has a single pencil anode near the raw water intake/ heat exchanger.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help but if you contact BoatZincs.com they are extremely help and knowledgeable and they usually ship the same day. I believe their number is 978/841-9978.

Forgot to add- Make sure when you order the prop anode get the Stainless screw as well.
