Re: Stus-List CC 26 Prop Zinc
Dan, you can get the Zinc get any chandlery. You need to know the shaft size. Wildcats would be three-quarter inch. The prop just needs to be cleaned well.

Re: Stus-List CC 26 Prop Zinc
Lots of prop choices. Are you looking for a like for like replacement or are you using this as an opportunity to upgrade? I recommend an upgrade to a 3 blade feathering/folding prop. The zinc can be found anywhere. West Marine, Defender, etc. You need to know the shaft diameter. Boatzincs.com is one option that will give options on aluminum, magnesium, and zinc alloy variants. They also explain why you should use one over another. If you don't know the shaft size then use calipers on the inside of the boat to measure the shaft near the stuffing box.

Re: Stus-List CC 26 Prop Zinc
Why not just remove the prop and buff it clean? As long as the zinc is not eaten away from the bronze – the prop will be pinkish -- it should be fine.

Re: Stus-List CC 26 Prop Zinc
If a diver is telling you to replace a prop which just has some build-up on it, replace the diver. Like this letter says, take it off and buff it out. I use emery cloth or sandpaper. Unless it is corroded to the point of falling apart, it can be cleaned forever.
