Dennis,
I've seen several instructions that say not to smack them with a hammer. Who do we believe. I know you want a nice tight fit though.

Use a good brand of zinc with a copper contact. I like Camp zincs 2. Use emery cloth to make shaft bright 3. Apply a small amount of TefGel to the copper contact 4. Place zinc on shaft forward of the strut. Leave 1/2 to 1 shaft diameter space to allow water to flow into cutless bearing 5. Tighten the zinc's fasteners evenly. 6. Rotate shaft until one of the copper contact flats is at the bottom 7. Whack it firmly with a hammer to set the contact against the shaft. Note: striking upward reduces the side loading on the strut which may break the sealant or damage the strut 8. Rotate shaft 180 degrees and whack the other contact 9. Tighten the fasteners again I usually install a second zinc immediately forward of the first and rotated 90 degrees. Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA
