Several comments here.
I don't recall him saying he had it on his prop?
Might be on his skeg?
Might just be on his trim tabs?
Regardless, it's foolish to not get it on real quick.
Good point Meindert but cray fishermen here in Ozzieland use galv wire to
tie anodes on the pots which are made out of steel & stainless mesh.
Everybit comes out sparkling until the anode is gone.

I believe that the effectiveness of a zinc diminishes somewhat as
distance
from the protected metal increases. So you probably want to hang the
zinc
pretty close to the prop. I'd use galvanized steel wire to suspend the
zinc.

Uhm, what do you think would happen to the zinc coating on the gavanized
wire?

You're right. I'm jumping to conclusions.

Agreed.

Yeah, the wire doesn't need 100% zinc cover. As long as there is zinc
anywhere near it (and electrically connected), the wire will be protected.
And I imagine that once the anode goes, the regular steel will serve as an
anode to the stainless.
