95 325 Aft Cabin Zincs

[bajabruce]

I hope you can help me! I am getting ready to pull my 95 325 Aft Cabin to paint the bottom and while it is out I want to replace all the zincs. I would like to get them ahead of time but the problem I have is I am not sure what ones I need or any sizes. Would anyone be able to help with what I will need or where I can find the information on what I need?

Thank you!

Same boat here. I have acorn zincs on the shafts, round zincs on the trim tabs, and one big one mounted to the center of the transom. Can't remember for sure, but I don't recall zincs on the rudders.

I am not sure what the sizes are, but if you have a West Marine nearby you should be able to go to the store and get them.

I see you are in Ky, you might want to consider magnesium rather than zinc as they offer better protection in fresh water. Unfortunately, you may have to order magnesium as West Marine doesn't seem to carry a lot of them.

However, the galvanic corrosion activity doesn't seem to be as significant on this boat as my last cruiser with an I/O (aluminum and all that stuff).

More or less the same here as well apart from the lack of any zincs on the trim tabs. I believe my 97 has 1 1/4 inch shafts.
