| METAL CORROSION IN BOATS by Nigel Warren Metal corrosion and it's prevention are often considered black arts and yet knowledge
of both are vital for the safety and integrity of a boat. Failure through corrosion or
fatigue can result in masts falling down, keels falling off or boats quietly sinking at
thief moorings. Less dramatic are such problems as pitting or fracture of propeller
shafts, erosion of pipe work, rusting of steel hulls and galvanic corrosion of aluminium
ones. The second edition of this unique book is intended to be of use to boat owner and
boat builder alike, giving advice on common problem areas such as keel bolts and propeller
shafts. Engines, outdrives, copper sheathing and chromium plating are examined, and
strategies are suggested for reducing or preventing corrosive effects. SOLD OUT Availability : SOLD OUT
