Heat Exchanger Zinc

I bought a used heat exchanger last year from a working boat (same model sold on the Moyer site). I pulled the zinc out to replace it today and it is about half the length and thickness of new. I...

It is a C&C 30. The tank is mounted to the bottom of the cockpit floor and I suspect it was placed before the deck was put on the hull. I had to slide it to the side (into a locker) to change...
