Where are my zincs? Universal 5424

Post by Ryan Turner »

The manual that came with my 24 hp Universal (model 5424) doesn't identify where the zincs are located within the raw water portion of the cooling system. The former owner penciled in the location of one zinc in the heat exchanger. Does anyone with one of these engines know if that is the only one or if there is another somewhere? Also, what is a good source for new zincs?

The pencil zinc on the heat exchanger is the only one. They are readily available at WEST, BOAT US etc.
