    Buena Ventura is looking better and better. Divers went over her bottom for cleaning and inspection. Cleaning went well and inspection showed the propellers no longer had pins holding them on tight. And, no zincs. Divers are adding prop shaft zincs and on the trim tabs. The question is what zinc was used on the hull. They found a single, centerline, hole where a zinc should go. Was the original design of the 1983 46 Sunliner/SS a zinc with one hole?

    You can see how BV is coming along in my YouTube channel Buena Ventura Life.

    I forget the part number but yes, single hole, about 9 or 10 inches long by about 4 inches.

    Thank you. I told the divers so they can get one for the hull. Life is good knowing I have working engines and two props! And now zincs!
