Prowell feathering prop zinc needed

[garvellachs]

Our 1984 Dehler 372 has a Prowell feathering 3 blade prop made in Germany. Prowell don't seem to exist anymore. Does anyone know of a European source for the zinc on the boss and other spares? The zincs seem to be sold in the US as Prowell Ger-1? Thanks for any advice.

Many thanks for the US links. I was hoping someone might have a European source - obviously easier and cheaper - but it looks like the US is the place?

I have just bought contest i guess with same prop it is still lying in Holland. Did you locate an anode yet, if not this German company can supply at great expense info@spw-gmbh.de. I have bought one and I now trying to cast my own. Do you have any pics of the prop with anode off.

Just a thought, but if one of you guys could provide an example of what you need, then could someone like A H Latham Marine cast a batch for you? You will find them at www.zincsmart.com

My previous boat had a maxprop and I used to get my anodes from Latham a great service. The boat was steel so had a further 6 anodes so i have cast a lot over the years the prop one is a new challenge. I have cast 2 so far will try to take out the centres for prop nut and the 3 fixing hole this week sometime.
