Can anyone tell me where the pencil zincs are (should be) located on my Nissan LD28 ?

If anywhere, on the heat exchanger.

I guess I need to look closer. After a fair amount of contortionism I have not been able to find them.

Hopefully someone here who knows will respond, but have you checked on Boatdiesel.com?

The marinizaion manual and it makes no mention of zincs. Its only 10 pages so i'll make it a pdf and mail it to forum admin perhaps they'll place it in the document lib.

Curious if anyone came up with answer to this. I have been able to locate zincs and can't seem to find any mention in the owners manual.

We owned a 27 foot aft cabin Albin with the Nissan engine and faced the same question. We could not find any zinc on the raw water side of the engine.
We installed a zinc holder in the system and bonded it to the engine. See link.http://catalog.orcamarine.com/item/mari ... ngs/300395
Hope that helps.

I've been searching for zincs with no luck. I have a 1987 FC with the Nissan engine, have the owners manual and there is no mention of them. If by chance you find anything please post.

So, I found there are no zincs. However, I have a new problem. My heag exchanger blew apart. Any idea where I might get a new one?
