Knowledge of metal corrosion and its prevention are vital for the
safety and integrity of a boat. The third edition of this unique book
is for boat owner and boat builder alike, giving advice on how to
prevent or at least reduce the corrosive effects of seawater. In this
edition more attention is paid to electrolytic corrosion as nowadays
many more people plug into a shore supply.




Modern super sealants, copper sheathing and chromium plating are
examined, as are engines, outdrives and even mooring chains, since
these are just as vital to a boat's security as the rudder stock.
Finally, there are tables showing the corrosion rates of different
metals in fresh and salt water.
