Hey,
I purchased a 1973 33' Pearson over the winter and I am looking to my first season in a bigger boat! (I had a 27' Catalina years ago.)
My primary concern is getting a Zinc on the boat. There's not much room for one past the prop, but it looks like there might have been a prop nut zinc or acorn zinc. I purchased an acorn zinc that would fit if I took the rudder off to screw it on the end of the prop shaft (it's threaded) but I'm not willing to go that far for a zinc.
I cannot find anything in the stores or online that seems to be the correct one for this boat. I'm about to hit the water in a few weeks, so I might just have to cut the tip off the acorn zinc to allow me enough room to get it on the shaft. I hope this will work!
Now I have to figure out what all the lines go to and what each valve does. I only have a manual for the engine, and can't seem to find any wiring or piping diagrams around. If anyone has some insight for a relatively new sailor (I last sailed 20 years ago on the Catalina) I am all ears and would appreciate the feedback!
Thanks.
