>Right or wrong here's how I install shaft zincs on Touche'.

> 1. 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.
