When I replaced the zinc on my volvo saildrive this season I had to pull the prop to bolt a single piece zinc to the saildrive behind the prop. Does anyone know if there is a simpler split zinc for the volvo saildrives that doesn't require the prop to be pulled to install? I have a Bavaria Ocean 40 CC with a Volvo MD22. It just seemed like a lot of work to change a zinc.

Njsail,
I don't know about the "Ocean" series (at least the underwater portion), but I have a 2005 Bav 36 Cruiser. My saildrive utilizes a split zinc, and I have replaced it a couple of times in the water without removing the prop.

If your drive is designed for a 'one piece" zinc, you may be out of luck.
Good luck and I hope you can find a way to achieve your goal,
Tom
