zincs on old motor

[medic2051]

I have a 1975 johnson 50 in salt water, and need to put on some zincs. I have searched through the forums for solutions but have not found one that does not involve drilling through the motor housing. Anyone know of a spot on the motor I can attach one without drilling. Also, does the zinc actually have to be submerged to be working, or just in contact with the metal of the motor that's underwater.<br />Thanks.

Re: zincs on old motor

The anode ('zinc' is a commonly used but incorrect generic term) needs to be electrically bonded to the motor and submerged.<br /><br />I can't be 100% sure but isn't the adjustable rudder an anode?
