It's a zinc thing that goes in the raw water side of the engine.... in theory the zinc is eaten away by the sea water before the engine itself is. Something to do with electrolysis, or some other witchcraft... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like a bolt that screws into the heat exchange.... the end of the bolt sticks into the water flow. If I remember, I'll take a pic tomorrow. As for how it works.... no idea! I just know it gets eaten away throughout the season and I need to replace it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pick up an Android phone and the operating system doesn't seem as responsive to me ... once you dive into the system configuration of a Apple phone and turn off all of the bullshit ... it runs pretty f**king good 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
