Hi Chuck- I had exactly the same experience after a May launch. The shaft zincs looked fine at that time, so I left them and put a new bullet on the prop. They still look pretty good and the bullet was nearly gone when I hauled. It seems like we are getting differential erosion. What are you thinking the Tefgel would do?
