Mine just had one on the heat exchanger. Since it's FWC, one in the
heat exchanger is good enough. Considering it's 28 years old and
still runs fine, I don't think it needs one on the engine.

The one on the heat exchanger is the only one on ours. Ours is indirectly
cooled, too. Engines filled with antifreeze don't need zincs inside...just
heat exchangers where the salt water's eating it away....
How many thousand hours is on your Perkins, Steve? The one we exchanged
had over 6000 hours on the clock because the former owner thought an Amel
Sharki was a trawler, I guess not noticing the 12 bags of sails she had...
