Rudder / shaft anodes?

Hi there,

Our go-to guy, the PO's son, is out of town right now and we could use a little advice.

From the photo's below, does it look like there was a second smaller round clamp-on anode on the rudder which would cover the hole in the rudder, or just one big one in the top corner?

Second question; there is only 2 inches of prop shaft (1 1/4" diameter) for an anode, and all the 'streamlined' anodes available here are over 2 inches long. What do you think was used before?

As you can tell, the boat hadn't been hauled for a while, and the prop shaft anode was totally gone.......
