Hi,
I am getting conflicting advice on adding a zinc to the strut. I have two zincs on the prop shaft but the rubber cutless bearing insulates the strut from the shaft. One mechanic says to add a zinc to the strut, another in the same boat yard says that drilling a hole in the strut to add the zinc will weaken the strut and is not necessary unless the strut is turning pink.
Any advice from the Ericson experts?
