Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Zinc-anodes and Autoprop
Hi all,
The design of the prop zincs is such that the thin zinc around the edges at the bolts erodes away at the same rate as the bulk of the anode. When the thin edge is gone, the bolts have nothing

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Zinc-anodes and Autoprop
Hi Bill,
Your theory would certainly explain the facts. However, AMEL uses zinc prop anodes instead of the red plastic cap on the Amel 54 and I have not heard that the bonding system on the 54 is

Thanks Giovanni
We did manage to source one from Quick's new Australian dealer here in Brisbane.
Trust you are enjoying La Reunion and the Indian ocean islands. We hope to be there next year

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Zinc-anodes and Autoprop
I have always believed that if you have multiple zincs connected in series, that the zinc closest to the protected items will be the first to dissolve. The zinc on the prop would be the closest zinc

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Zinc-anodes and Autoprop
Hi Mark,
As I understand it you shouldn't need the zinc on the propellor as the C-drive is connected to the bonding system.

Hi mark. I would think that the rapid degrading of the prop zinc indicates it is providing essential protection for your shaft and propeller. In the absence of the zinc I would think you would get

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Zinc-anodes and Autoprop
The plastic cap on my Autoprop was lost a couple of years ago. I have replaced it with a zinc cap made for this prop. The problem is that the prop zincs do not last more than 3 or 4 months before

Re: Remedy for seawater causing oxidation on Onan parts
