I was told by the Bennett Rep. that in the past they found some actuators were leaking voltage out the stainless shaft. We checked it last year no sign but I am going to have my mechanic check it out again. -----Original Message----- From: <a href="/group/parkerboats/post?postID=qjuOK2zdHEgp07Pw4TCk-4BCgU6WaUUuCsAhLwl2A27l4TWNopvg-6MXXdSQ-LghIamhe09CDJHWCxU7kjMlfc1vZ68">[email protected]</a> [mailto:<a href="/group/parkerboats/post?postID=qjuOK2zdHEgp07Pw4TCk-4BCgU6WaUUuCsAhLwl2A27l4TWNopvg-6MXXdSQ-LghIamhe09CDJHWCxU7kjMlfc1vZ68">[email protected]</a>] On Behalf Of rraccuia Sent: Sunday, October 16, 2005 5:21 PM To: <a href="/group/parkerboats/post?postID=qjuOK2zdHEgp07Pw4TCk-4BCgU6WaUUuCsAhLwl2A27l4TWNopvg-6MXXdSQ-LghIamhe09CDJHWCxU7kjMlfc1vZ68">[email protected]</a> Subject: [parkerboats] Re: 21SE trim tab replacement help please I do...this is my third year. The first two years they really eroded, probably 60-70%, this year maybe 25%...I use the clam shells and replace them each spring. One odd thing...the zincs on my outboard show very little wear after three years. --- In <a href="/group/parkerboats/post?postID=qjuOK2zdHEgp07Pw4TCk-4BCgU6WaUUuCsAhLwl2A27l4TWNopvg-6MXXdSQ-LghIamhe09CDJHWCxU7kjMlfc1vZ68">[email protected]</a>, "peter seminara" <pseminara@r...> wrote: > > Do you guys use zincs on your trim tabs and do you find that you have to > replace them often? > > > > Thanks, > > Chherios > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: <a href="/group/parkerboats/post?postID=qjuOK2zdHEgp07Pw4TCk-4BCgU6WaUUuCsAhLwl2A27l4TWNopvg-6MXXdSQ-LghIamhe09CDJHWCxU7kjMlfc1vZ68">[email protected]</a> [mailto:<a href="/group/parkerboats/post?postID=qjuOK2zdHEgp07Pw4TCk-4BCgU6WaUUuCsAhLwl2A27l4TWNopvg-6MXXdSQ-LghIamhe09CDJHWCxU7kjMlfc1vZ68">[email protected]</a>] On > Behalf Of rraccuia > Sent: Sunday, October 16, 2005 8:39 AM > To: <a href="/group/parkerboats/post?postID=qjuOK2zdHEgp07Pw4TCk-4BCgU6WaUUuCsAhLwl2A27l4TWNopvg-6MXXdSQ-LghIamhe09CDJHWCxU7kjMlfc1vZ68">[email protected]</a> > Subject: [parkerboats] Re: 21SE trim tab replacement help please > > > > > Thanks, that was very helpful info....How did you id the the power cable > coming out of the trough in the stern?
