So I was doing my annual zinc replacement in the heat exchanger of the Universal engine in my 2002 Catalina 28. I do it once a year as it only disolves about 50% in a season here in the Barnegat Bay. This year, the entire zinc was missing. Nothing left. See the attached picture. Could it be that the zinc somehow unscrewed itself from the brass nut and is sitting inside the heat exchanger just waiting to clog up my cooling system? Can I just take the end cap off and look inside? Will I need to replace a gasket? Any advice will be appreciated.
