Making Aluminum Boats Why Have I Heard That Aluminum Boats Aren't Made For Salt Water?

Why have I heard that aluminum boats aren't made for salt water? - making aluminum boats

They say that aluminum boats are not salt water. If the levels are high enough for the waves, and you have enough energy, why do you sing hit the coast? Salt water decomposes everything, not just aluminum, and when you clean the pot, then what's the problem?

The answer is, in fact, the salt water corrodes all aluminum and fastest of all ..... Well, if the boats in the water a few hours at a time, then washed and rinsed thoroughly with fresh water, they 'll be fine for a while ...

and "erosion" (anoding actually the equivalent of aluminum oxide) is the problem of galvanic reaction in salt water ... two different metals in seawater has a new flow between them and the less noble, such as aluminum or zinc or tin ..... So eat when copper anti-fouling paint on a boat eating = alum, copper paint holes. If you are on the side of a steel spring in the water Say, are connected poles), the steel to eat.

So yes, you can use the alum is not simply adopt the special attention.

I do not know what I've heard.
There are many aluminum boat in the seas around the world, including sailing.
This is a good material, and suffer less corrosion than iron and steel. However, you should suggest to pay son could to attack electrical dispersion, aluminum avoided.

His aluminum boat will erode very quickly! Do not do that! (like iron rusts in contact with water)

I do not know who said it, because there are hundreds of thousands of aluminum boats up and down the coast. Putt Putt These are small, outboard motors, but they live in salt water. Many fishing boats are aluminum, layers of salt and water.
So, who says that aluminum boats are not made for salt water, that has something else in mind. They are not as elegant as fiberglass boat, but they are safe and work, and effective.
