Take a #8 bonding wire and go from the rudder stuffing box flange to the top bolt that holds the rudder control arm on. You will then bond your rudders. Make sure it is long enough for the swing of the rudder. You can still put 5 or 6" zincs on your rudders.
If you can get to any of the nuts that hold the trim tabs on, run a wire from that bolt to the bonding sys. Capt.

The packing glands may isolate from the bonding system. Egg shaped collar zinc on each shaft even though there is a direct connection from the shafts to the transmission and engine which is bonded. They all seem to dissolve although I think the rudder buttons might wear away rather than sacrifice.
