Zpc-3 acorn zinc

Hi Folks .. I have attached a pic of an acorn zinc (zpc-3) that screws on the end of my shaft. Seems everyone is out of stock on these. Does anyone know if a supply as well as an alternative.. thanks in advance … Dennis

Does your boat also have the traditional jam nut/king nut setup?

Yes it does have nut with cotter pin. The acorn then screws on the end. I have ultimately found the zpc acorns and I got 2 of them. Had bottom cleaned a few days ago and the old acorn zinc was not there. I am thinking that the right spinning threads on the clockwise spinning prop caused it to fall off. I have heard a lock washer on there will avoid it coming off. I bet a prior bottom cleaner accidentally lost that washer some there isn’t anything others than the nut on there. Any thoughts on this from anyone?? Much appreciated in advance! Dennis

Why stick with an antiquated and hard to find anode? Why not go with a typical prop nut anode setup?
