[Alberg30] Zinc Anode location

[Tom Sutherland]

Stephen, If your engine has a drain plug in the fresh water side, it
might be possible to install a zink in it's place. You may notice that
the pencil zinks come in a variety of "NPT" sizes. This might be a bit
messy to change but might be worth thinking about. On my engine I have
to cut the end of the zink off for it to fit.

Just a thought.
