Regarding another post of mine - I'm glad to say I got my engine dried out and running. Now the underlying cause of the water in the bilge - it looks like it is coming in at the bottom of the transom / outdrive assembly. There are a couple of bolts that have what look like some zinc caps on them. When I fill the bilge with water it leaks out where these bolts are. Are these hard to replace? It is hard to get at the bottom of the transom area from inside the boat. I haven't tried looking too carefully inside... but are these zincs simply caps on the bolt heads, or are they integrated into the bolts themselves? (This is a 1986 Alpha one).
