Need to Fix My impeller Rod....can I use Zinc?

The impeller rod on my Ocean Runner 3500 broke, and being that their customer service is sucking right now, I need to use something temporary until I get the part. The only thing that I could find, were Zinc plated rods......would this be harmful to my aquarium?

yeah, no zinc. Any metal is bad, really. if you must, go ceramic, or stainless steel.
