| Engine Zincs Cat 3412
i just started on an 80' motor yacht with 3412 engines, while checking things over today i went to check the zincs, the first one i pulled the brass head unscrewed easily enough, however, the zinc fell down the exaust, and consequently i had to disassemble to remove the zinc, the remainder of my zincs are corroded onto the engine, i can remove the brass plug, but the zinc stays in place, not dropping, yet not coming out with the cap, is there any simple way to remove the zinc without pulling the exaust apart? and how could i prevent this from happening in the future ?
