NOTE: This zinc transom zinc will be used on boats
that have a generator or an air-conditioning option.
CAUTION
Zinc Anodes
The DC system must be grounded in order to function properly. The RJ/RK use a cathodic bond system
to connect all underwater components and through-hull fittings. A sacrificial zinc plate is mounted on the
bottom of the engine bracket helps protect these fittings from corrosion. This plate should be inspected
and replaced at regular maintenance intervals to ensure corrosion protection. In addition there are zinc
anodes on the bottom of the outboard drives which should be inspected regularly and replaced when
necessary.
Check your Engine Manuals for exact location of all anodes.
Not all zinc anodes on the Drives are shown here.

ZINC
ANODE
The trim tab also serves as an anode to protect
the engine from electrochemical corrosion.
Never paint the trim tab as it will become
ineffective as an anode.
