    Advice on placement of zincs, please

    Hi, Our E30+ came with 2 oval zincs placed about an inch apart on the drive shaft between the strut and the hull. There is no zinc on the bronze propeller or on the strut, or anywhere else (other than the pencil zinc in the heat exchanger). Lately, I have seen or heard of sailors placing...

    Where are engine zincs located?

    I recently bought a 1987 E-35 MK-3, that has a Universal model 25XP. Looking at the owners manual and Universal engine manual, I am unable to find any mention of where zincs for the engine are located. I assume there must be at least one zinc in the heat exchanger, but what about the engine...

    Shaft Zinc(s)

    My 1988 Ericson 32-200 has 2 zincs on the 1" prop shaft. Having moved the boat from salt water to fresh, I'm replacing the zincs with magnesium anodes. The question is, do I need 2 anodes or will one be enough?

    M20 Pencil Zincs?

    I've looked in the operations manual, shop manual and online. I can't find where pencil zincs might go in my Perkins Perama - M20. As some of you may know - I bought the boat from an estate and continue to unravel the mysteries - with your gracious help!:egrin: Any info on the zincs? thanks jt

    Universal Model and Zincs

    My '74 E 35-II had the A-4 replaced with a rebuilt 3 Cyl Universal Diesel in 99. It runs well. The PO has no information about the engine and I am not familiar enough to recognize the model but I want to ID it so I can get a manual, etc. The installation required raising the engine box cover...

    Heat Exchanger Zincs

    I have a 1985 Ericson 32 with a Universal diesel. The brochure says it is fresh water cooled. The previous owner didn't keep a maintenance manual but someone said I need to change the zincs in the heat exchanger. Do I have zincs in the heat exchanger that need replacing? If so, where? Thanks!
