If a diver is telling you to replace a prop which just has some build-up on it,
replace the diver. Like this letter says, take it off and buff it out. I use
emery cloth or sandpaper. Unless it is corroded to the point of falling apart,
it can be cleaned forever.

My zincs are spherical with a 7/8" hole. Yours may have a different shaft
size so check. They are available at any chandlery. If you have to replace the
prop, this might be the time to upgrade to a folder. I recently replaced mine
with a 2 blade Flexofold. Better speed under sail in light air, improved
reverse thrust. Not cheap, but if you have to replace anyway, you're partway
there anyway. My shaft is 7/8" with an SAE standard taper for the prop.

Subject: Stus-List C&C 26 Prop & Zinc
Diver who cleaned the hull of my C&C says I need to change out the zinc and
replace the prop. The prop had buildup and while clean now has the residue
that will enhance further growth. The since is just normal wear and need
replacing.
Anyone have any idea where to find both the prop and zinc?
Merry Christmas Everyone!!
Dan
