Zincs for 505

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I thought this might be a time-saver to new 505 owners as it took more effort than I expected to chase it all down:
The Varifold VF-3 prop has one zinc. It is 40mm in diameter, 52mm long and has a threaded mounting hole (M16 X 2) that attaches to the end of the prop.  

The Volvo Penta 130/150 Saildrive has a single split-ring zinc part number: 358407 

The Quick BTR-185 Bow Thruster has a total of 6 zincs:  
- One on each propeller (OSP Kit Anode - FVSGANBTQ185A00)
- Four on the retraction mechanism (OSP Anode kit for Retractable Thruster - FVSGANBTR185A00)

I don't have a description of the hull zinc (stern port side), but it is a standard rectangular zinc that appears widely available.

I also found that there can be a wait time to get the Quick zincs, at least in the US, so I have stocked up on both kits.
