I went to replace the zinc on my motor, and of course the one bolt broke!!! Does anyone know what these bolts are made of? Do i have to get a special bolt for it? Also someone was telling me that it needs both bolts so it can do its job? Is that true? are they just stainless bolts? Will it still do its job if i dont get that other broken bolt out? Its still grounded with the one bolt!!

Wilson, Tell us what year motor you have. Most 115HP motors have a single bolt zinc anode.
