Heat Exchanger Zinc

[Witzend]

The Westerbeke # is 011885 1/4" x 1.75"
Does anyone know if the Standard 1/4 zinc they sell at West Marine fits?

I believe I have answered my own question.

According to this E0 should cross to 011885. It is called a NPT 1/4" zinc but the shaft actually measures 3/8" in dia, we will see if it fits.

You can actually use your old fitting and put in a blank.

Pulled the zinc, nothing left after 3 years in the mid Chesapeake. Pulled the end off the X and nothing but a white slime. I flushed and replaced. Beware even in brackish water.
