Do you think that acorn zinc would work on this setup?
I don't have any extra threads or much clearance. Maybe if the aftmost nut was also a thin one?
The other option is a thin collar anode, but there ain't much room between the prop and deadwood either. I've heard that for a 1" shaft, you'd really like to have 1" of space between the deadwood and zinc. But that would mean an exceedingly slim 1/4" zinc in my case. The concern is that if there isn't enough space, the cutlass bearing won't get enough water flow and will overheat. For sailing in and out of the marina, that is fine, but my current cruising plans include a bit of motoring for 8+ hours at a time.
