[alberg30] zinc/packing gland

[dan walker]

From: "dan walker" <dsail at gte.net>

first, thanks to all who commented on bilge pump installations. i printed all of them and filed them for spring. today, i have two queries. 1)i realize the importance of sacrificial zinc,but i cannot see where there are any on rascal, nor can i picture where they should go. the prop is on the shaft and there is very little space between the prop and the hull/housing. i read the a 30 manual section k on glands and zinc etc but am just a forrest gump. 2) rascal has been out of the water for a good spell, do packing glands dry out? forget it and just replace? any way to test for a leak before putting in the ocean
as always thanks in advance
dan
