Getting ready for haul-out and survey on the 1987 Eagle 32 we’re buying and I have a couple of questions:
1. How many underwater zincs should there be, and what are their locations?
2. What is the rudder made out of? Does it have a zinc?
3. What sizes zincs do I need? I’m thinking that as long as the boat is out of the water, I’ll go ahead and replace the zincs - that way if our purchase goes through I’ve got a benchmark of when the zincs were 100%; if it doesn’t go thru, small investment for the parts/work.
The owner isn’t local and I don’t have contact info; the broker doesn’t know the answer to the questions. I’d like to have the info at hand, and the necessary zincs, when the boat comes out of the water.
Thanks!
As long as I’m asking: any items specific to the Eagle 32 that we should pay particular attention to in the survey?
