Hi David, Someone suggested using TefGel to ensure a better electrical bond between the zinc and the prop shaft. If it is bonded well, the zincs might all wear evenly? Never tried that.

The shaft zincs looked fine at that time, so I left them and put a new bullet on the prop. They still look pretty good and the bullet was nearly gone when I hauled. It seems like we are getting differential erosion. What are you thinking the Tefgel would do? Dave On Dec 1, 2013, at 9:50 PM, Chuck S < cscheaf...@comcast.net > wrote: Wow. Installed the bullet shaped zinc last Spring but launched late, early July. Haulout in mid November revealed it was fully intact while the MaxProp cone was half gone. I intend to try the Tefgel next season.

The zinc lasts me the entire year, I sail on the Upper Chesapeake Bay which is fresh water.
