Zinc Help

I do not have it, but here are two ideas that might help you figure it out...
1) Try your parts manual (download it if need be). Although, truth be told, I've never looked for an anode (they're called anodes, FYI) in a parts manual.
2) It looks like enough of it is intact to get a measurement since they are symmetrical.

thanks Dennis, I didnt find any info on the anode/zinc in the owners manual. I guess ill have to take some measurements next time I go to the boat. :hmm
I should have said "since IT IS symmetrical" - meaning the distance from the screw hole to the top and left edge will be the same on the right side. BUT... the most important thing is the screw hole center-to-center measurement, right? Can't hurt to go bigger, can it?
Oh... #3: Just call a dealer or contact Grady.

Shape is not critical. Take a look at the following site as an example of what will work. Measure the hole spacing and you might find a match. If not, you will see zincs with slots for mounting.

I recommend something about the same size, a bit larger is probably better than smaller but if you have had yours for a long time and it still has about half of its meat, than you don't need a significant;y bigger one.

Directly under the boat just past the aft pick up's for livewell and washdown pump on my boat. Going to the boat tomorrow and taking some measurements. Luckily I work for a Marine Supply company save $$
From the photo it looks like that is a grounding plate made by GUEST. Not a zinc You can see the GUEST writing on it. I don't think GUEST ever made zincs. Grounding plates were used with LORAN installations.

That's exactly what it was used for after talking with some guys at the yard. Learn something new all the time even had a old loran ground wire running to the stud on the inside of the hull.
Funny... I was looking at that picture on my (old) phone and couldn't make out the writing. BUT it did strike me as strange that it was an odd-looking green color. At the time, I thought it was probably just my phone's screen. But now that I'm on a laptop, I can see the words, too.
