Hi all,
Getting my C30 ready for launching in a few weeks and a thought came to mind that I never had in the 15 odd years of owning my Cat30's. I have always placed two shaft zincs on the shaft between the engine side and the strut. I noticed that the space on the shaft between the prop and strut is just the right size to mount a standard shaft zinc....so, I did and I mounted the second one about 8" up from the strut. Once mounted, the lower zinc has about 1/16" clearance on the prop side as well as the strut side.
I was wondering if there is any reason for not doing so?
