Tim (and anyone else that can assist) ---
Up until this year, I have been using the three-piece cone zinc sold by West Marine to protect the prop. Based on your e-mail from a couple of years ago, I decided to go with the acorn nut zinc that screws directly on the shaft. I got the ZPC-3, figuring it would last longer than the others.
I got a call today from the diver who cleaned the bottom of my boat. I left the zinc in the cockpit table compartment for him to install. He informed me that the zinc is "way too large" to screw on the end of the shaft. I ordered my ZPC-3 from Boatfix.com, which indicates the threads are 3/4-10.
I have Hull No. 84. Did the diameter of the shaft change somewhere along the way for the 350?
