Your Drop Zinc must be electrically connected to your Shaft Zinc.
Using an engine block clamp for the Drop Zinc may not work.
Why?
Some shafts have a non-metal disc between the shaft and engine.
Set you Digital Volt Meter to OHMS. Then touch one lead to the Clamp on the Drop Zinc. Then other lead to the shaft.
You should show Zero Ohms resistance.
If you show Infinite Ohms, then you are NOT protected by your Drop Zinc.

Your Shaft Zinc loss will NOT stop, but slow down by the Ratio of the surface Areas exposed per @Ralph Johnstone .
