Have the diver put the old zinc in a paper bad and set it on the boat! Sounds like you need to change marinas! I'm in san diego. Not like the zinc on the boat is a fuel can on the dock. You are condoning that control by paying to stay there.....oh yeah, I almost forgot--you are the customer. There is no law for having zincs placed on your boat by a diver for you to know it was replaced. That really pisses me off. Next they are going to tell us we can't wire brush the shafts because it puts residue in the water. Sorry, just fed up.

The only parts that I can tell are pink seem to be the bolts. Hopefully I can get away with just replacing those when I hual out next and I did use tinned #8 to replace the junk that was there. Does anyone use a brush around the prop shaft to help bond it?
