Hi,
I have an S2, 7.3, 24 footer. I would like to know if there is a zinc anode anywhere on this boat.
Thanks in advance,
A novice

Boat undoubtedly came from the factory with no zincs. If one has been added by a PO, it would probably be on the keel. But honestly, you don't need one on that boat.

Actually

Most outboards have zinc anodes on them. You don't really have to worry about it though, as long as you don't leave the engine in the water. If it will stay in the water when you aren't sailing you definitely need one. Even my Suzuki 4hp has one. Many times they are located above the prop on the underside of the horizontal fin.
