We had similar issues with our ramco dominator under the floor boards, we went to the paint shop opposite greeton marist footy club (can't recall name) and bought some etching primer and a two pot tar like paint that went on two coats over the primer, we did this after lightly grinding/buffing the inside of the hull, it appeared to come up quite well, then replaced the floor boards using lanocote on the screws to help stop them from reacting with the alloy.]]> Wed, 25 Aug 2010 19:16:46 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=56671&PID=812014&title=alloy-hull-pitting#812014 <![CDATA[Alloy hull pitting : I second RC1, Duane from Hawkins...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=56671&PID=811960&title=alloy-hull-pitting#811960 Author: Rodinator

I dont know if it is an issue of ignorance, or maybe an issue of lack of technical knowledge that causes many of the basic types of corrosion issues. Many boat builders hire staff to weld - not to posses the knowledge of marine corrosion. This leads to the inevitable question of, where are many of our marine technicians and marine engineers  - not in N.Z.

How many marine technician apprenticeships are filled each year - a whole heap less than when I did my apprenticeship thats for sure. This type of issue is replicated in many trades in N.Z. and contributes to what we know as the "brain drain"

unfortunately then you can have a situation where there is a worker trying to do a job they are not trained for and mistakes will happen.
I have trained several apprentices myself over the years and I can tell you that the training system at the moment for training technicians is laughable, the word "Circus" springs to mind  !!!!

just as a side note to this pitting in alloy thing, I cant believe with all this knowledge that the manufactures still do to get it right. I have a brand new (well 7 hours on the clock) Frypan 500 something or other in here getting signwritten today and I'm gob-smacked to see just how much stainless and alloy is touching. This boat was purchased new from the Auckland boat show and already has signs of white chalky stuff around areas. What will this look like in a year.

People have said there is no way they would still use led pencils, I would'nt be so confident if they are still putting alloy and stainless together with nothing between them.

What he said...interesting about pencil lead causing a reaction...




Aren't the 'leads' in pencils graphite these days?


Having done plenty of roofing in early years, one of the big no-no's was to use pencil on zincalume roofs, as it would corrode before long! The only metal that lead doesn't affect is copper, but anything else it will have an affect (different metals different rates). Aluminium is high on the list, higher than zinc, so the effect would be at a greater rate.
Just a bit of utter useless info you ya.    ]]> Tue, 24 Aug 2010 23:49:06 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=56671&PID=811481&title=alloy-hull-pitting#811481
