Does my northern lights generator have zincs?

Post by Legasea »

I purchased a 2002 32+2 last fall. I am just starting the spring commissioning. The prior owner only put three hours on the generator last year so all I did was winterize it. I have not been able to find any information on pencil zincs for this particular generator. It’s a 673M 5.0 Northern lights. I understand some of the northern lights generators do not have zinc. I’m just not sure on this one can anybody enlighten me?

There are no zinc anodes on the M673 5kw generator.

"As part of the annual service", be sure to tighten the Heat Exchanger "End Caps" (stainless clamps) as this is all that you have preventing the raw water side from mixing with the saltwater side.

Thank you Pitou. I bought this boat late last season and I have a lot to learn.
