THE BOATOWNER'S GUIDE TO CORROSION
by Everett Collier
Corrosion is a constant, often expensive, and sometimes dangerous problem for boaters. Moisture, salt, electrical currents, and chemicals create a potent combination that can attack the metallic (and sometimes non metallic) parts of your boat. This book details all the types of corrosion and explains how to identify, combat, and prevent them.
