I had a nice weather day yesterday so decided to get a head start on spring projects. Nothing went smoothly (what else is new):
#1- I tried to replace the Raritan water heater anode. This is the first time I have tried to do it in the 5 years I have owned the boat, so unknown when was the last change. I was unable to budge the threads at all with a large pipe wrench. Suggestions on how to get it loose without damage to the unit? Will PB blaster do anything to pipe compound? #2- I removed the engine heat exchanger anode that I put in a few years ago. The cap came off without the zinc itself. I first interpreted this as the zinc being completely gone. However, when I tried to insert a new one, it was blocked from going in at all. I am guessing this means the zinc core broke off and is stuck inside. If I take the end cap off, can I get to the piece inside? Is this a common problem?
