Zinc Count.

Hi again, everyone.

So, prior to launching my c22, I saw 1 zinc in the rudder. It looked fine, so I left it. Are there any others that I failed to see?

Going sailing today

Lets see if I can make it half way down the bay.

When I buy zincs for Lady Jo, I buy the set that is two fround disks kind of like flying saucers. I use one half or one of the zincs on the port side rudder cheek and the other half or disk on the starboard side rudder cheek.

So far so good.

I have not seen a good place for any zincs on the keel.

I own a c-26 I just re did the boat and didn't find any zincs at all not even on the outboard. It has always been a fresh water boat do I need the zinc?

EE has an under hull flat zinc about the size of a Hershey bar (mmmmmmmm, chocolate....) -but much thicker- under the stern berth area. The ( heavily sealed) bolts that attach it are also the terminus for the rig's ground wires.

EE, you wouldn't happen to have a picture of that? I haven't found any zincs on "Ya never know" yet.

Eh, not good ones. I dug a couple a pics that happen to show the zinc and connection. I emailed them to you with some arrows drawn. Maybe you can zoom in enough to see it.
