Yes, the zincs need to be in the water. I was always told that you don't store with the drive up because its stretching /extending the bellows.

In that case you should tilt it halfway.

Even worse to be stored in the water with a stretched bellows. Leave it down. If you use it, it'll stay clean anyway.

I had an i/o once that I just tilted up a little to keep the skeg from driving into the creek bottom when the tide went way out. You want to keep the zincs in the water to keep the rest of the outdrive from being eaten away.
