To zinc or not to zinc

[Squadron]

Hey guys,

I've got what could possibly be a dumb question, but as I am still new to sailing and used to own a powerboat, I figured I'd ask:

I know I need to put a zinc on the outboard engine if it's gonna sit in water for any amount of time, but would there be anywhere else on a H22 that I would need a zinc for? The rudder doesn't look to be metallic.

Thanks!

The later Hunters in this size range have zero metal parts exposed to sea water. The motor is the only place I have zinc on my 2002 H260.

I have had my 22 for 7 years and it stays in the water. Just the motor is all you need but I did replace my plastic thru hull with bronze. It is more solid than the original and nylon or plastic get brittle as time goes on.
