Hello all, I just wanted to check in with  you folks.  For those of you who are in saltwater, on a dock, and plugged into shore power, how long would you expect to see your shaft zinc last?  I get a regular report from our diver, who, after about 6 months, indicated that the zinc is down to abou

Stus-List Yanmar sea water pump replace

Having a need to replace the sea water pump in my early model 2GM20FV (Engine #05410) the sticker shock of $500 has me thinking rebuild. After taking it apart (another story) and itemizing parts needed I found there is a Johnson pump that was used on later models and is half the cost. My engine do

Re: Stus-List How long do your zincs last (saltwater, on a dock, plugged in to shore power

I'm in brackish water (about 50% as salty as the ocean). I get my zincs from boatzincs.com and they recommend using a more active metal than zinc in brackish water - aluminum. http://boatzincs.com/pdfs/Chart_A-Which_Anodes_Should_I_Use.pdf http://boatzincs.com/pdfs/Chart_B-Which_Anodes_Should_I_

I'm on shore power with galvanic isolators in my circuits. After 6 months I've got almost 100% of my zincs. 75% is not bad. Joel Virus-free. www.avg.com

Re: Stus-List How long do your zincs last (saltwater, on a dock, plugged in to shore power

Bruce, the other thing to consider is, how long do you wanted them to last? I say EVERYTIME you haul the boat, grease the through-hulls, grease the max-prop, and replace the anodes. For me this happens once every year so if I have any anode left after 1 year then I "wasted" money. If tou are goi

Re: Stus-List where to begin.

Ron — were the conductors in the battery cables bare copper (not tinned)? There’s good chance that was the result of the batteries outgassing; the gas is corrosive. That’s part of the reason (along with salt corrosion) that ABYC requires tinned strands in marine-grade wiring. — Fred Fred Str

Correct.  Mine were not tinned.  I didn't replace with tinned; just used auto parts.  But the originals lasted 40yrs in fresh water so these should definitely outlast me.RonWild CheriC&C 30-1STL From: Frederick G Street via CnC-List To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: Frederick G Street Se

Where do you connect overboard zincs? I would think directly to the shaft or engine but the ones I've seen don't have a cable long enough for that. Cheers, Al > On Sep 25, 2017, at 10:44 AM, Bill Dakin via CnC-List > wrote: > > Overboard zincs make a lot of sense. Great surface area for co

Thanks Kelly, I went local as I need it quickly and compared it to the old. As you mentioned, it looks to fit right in there. The hose intake and outlet are slightly different but I believe there's enough room. One point the parts guy mentioned was that it would need a different belt. Do you recall
