Greetings,
I have contacted the factory with no success on the issue of Zinc Sizes for "older" boats. We own a 2012 Ranger 29S, with the Yanmar 260 6By2. I am wondering if there is anyone else in the group with the same model and year that has a list of Zinc sizes required for this boat/engine type? Prop etc?
Thank you in advance,

The following is a list of the zinc anodes we use on our 2011 R29.

Bow & Stern Thrusters: Side Power part number SM31180A; I source those through Fisheries Supply in Seattle, but they are also available at boatzincs.com.

Prop Nut Zinc: Size "F" for 1-1/2" shaft; I source these either from the Ranger Tugs Factory, or from boatzincs.com.

Trim Tab Zincs: Martyr CMR-3; I source these from Ranger Tugs factory, or from boatzincs.com.

Transom Zinc: Martyr "Divers Dream" mini; I source these from the local boat yard in Des Moines, WA, but they are also available at boatzincs.com.

Engine Zincs (2 each): Part number 120650-13420; I source these at boatzincs.com.

I find it helpful to buy all of these in quantities that provide me a stock on hand, so that I am prepared for the diver or a haul-out on short notice and to avoid a scramble at the last minute to get what I need.

Hope this is helpful.

On the two engine zincs, make sure you check the lower zinc every 3 months... The lower zinc sits in water and will deteriorate faster than the upper zinc.

I also have BNT-1s installed on each trim tab.

Thank you to Fishheadbarand grill and SkookumR29 for the assistance. I am also happy to report that Mr. Menendez at Ranger Parts was able to do some research and help me out as well. Thank you again.

The engine pencil zincs when removed can look visually to be at 100%. Use your thumb and forefinger and squeeze the zinc, and you may be mightily surprised. These zincs have a tendency for being eaten from the inside, and until you squeeze them you wouldn't know what lies beneath. 😉
