Zink Anode for SPURS Line Cutter
|
Dear Amelias
I suppose that the AMEL-Bonding will protect Line cutter without Zink-Anodes as well as the prop, and I don’t need to install. What is the Forums experience and opinion about my question? I am correct?
Best regards

Our rudder zincs wear as they should and the spurs zinc wears also.
Given the cost of that Spurs and the minimal cost to buy the additional zinc, I opt to be conservative on this one and keep the line cutter zinc'd. -- Scott 2007 A54 #69 SV Tengah http://www.svtengah.com

Hello Rudi and Scott, the reason for the zinc on the SPURS rope-cutter is that it is attached to the fixed blade which is in fact isolated from the prop shaft by a plastic U-shaped part (you will have a close look next time) Therefore, this fixed blade is not correctly bonded to the rudder zincs, and it is important to keep its zinc in good condition. The purpose of the plastic part is to reduce friction betwen the shaft and the fixed blade. Have a nice day. Olivier.

Hi Olivier Thank you. Yes you are completely right. I forgot that U-shaped plastic part which isolate the SPURS from the bonded shaft.

Bonjour Olivier, hello Rudi and Scott,
I want to add my observations of some years: The zinc anode of the Spurs line cutter is completely away after a year, if you do not have the zinc anode on the nose of (in my case folding) propeller. This means, the protection of the big 2 anodes on the rudder blade is most seemingly not enough to protect the line cutter (and the propeller I believe) from corrosion. After installing the zinc anode on the propeller (instead of the 'red nose plastic' - as Olivier says), which by the way is quite easy also in diving, I detect no corrosion anymore at the zinc anode of the Spurs line cutter. I am happy now with a full set of zinc anodes from bow to aft, on (1) the bow thruster, (2) the Onan Generator, (3) the spurs line cutter, (4) the nose of the Propeller and (5) the 2 big ones at the rudder blade. This should last and avoid any corrosion easily a year! Best regards Alexander Hofmann, SY Oceanica I, Amel 54#156

Hi Alexander,
I am aware of all the anodes you mention but, maybe a dumb question, where is the anode on the ONAN Generator?

Teun, You can buy a regular pencil zinc and shorten it . It is much cheaper than the Onan factory zinc. Save the brass cap fitting that the zinc fits into . You can then reuse the cap and buy zincs without the brass cap. Fair Winds Eric Amel Super Maramu #376

You May already be aware of this, but just in case you are not.
Boat Zincs dot com has the Ohan zinc in stock for $6.15. You can also purchase just the zinc or just the threaded nut separately. The also have the line cutter zincs and the zincs for the rudder. I believe the one you need might be E-1G

Hi Ameliens,
I´m interested to have a closer view on my spurs cutter anode as soon as possible, may be in August, hopefully. Is anybody from you experts are able to call me the right size for our 54´s spurs cutter zinc. There are a lot in variety at boatzincs.com. Currently I´m not able to make a measure. Boat in Greece, I´m Germany. Not so fine. THX a lot in advance and: still take care Best wishes to all are locked down remote. from home or boat. Ulrich Michael. „Soleil Bleu“ /A54 #088. <>

Hi Ulrich,
If you contact Leean Ali at Spurs and give her your information she should be able to tell you the size you will need. Spurs also sells replacement parts and rebuild kits. I believe if you ship them your line cutter they can preform a servicing and rebuild on your line cutter and ship it back to you too.

Hi all, you are very right, I just find a picture from last year on the hard. This may be the original Amel setup from 2008. SPURS type B(ravo). But the 2. blade mounting and zinc missing. And in the owners manual (for options) I also find a picture from original setup (2008) like mine. Confusing. Any comments and recommendations for clarifying are very appreciated . Thanks to all. Best wishes and stay safe! and Eric, good luck for your little escape :) Ulrich „SoleilBleu54“ / A54 088. <> Am 28.05.2020 um 00:08 schrieb eric freedman <kimberlite@...>:

Eric, et al, One of the blades should be held in place by the V shaped oil drain bolt, the other blade spins with the shaft. Something is very wrong with this installation.
