... in the Great Lakes. It may see salt water duty (S. Florida) for 2 weeks a year. I've searched your site and it seems to suggest bottom paint, and navalloy sacrificial anodes to prevent any corrosion. I will probably have Line X on the diamond plate and flat aluminum surfaces in the boat. I have ...

... epoxied and coated with non-copper bottom paint. Replace all anodes on the hull and engine including any that are internal with aluminum anodes (Navalloy or equiv). Replace that corroded plate on the engine. The problem could have also been caused simply by using the wrong anodes (zinc) or poorly ...

... systems) and the motor trims completely out of the water so this must have happened when running (about 125 hrs this summer) the hull anode (Navalloy I was using up motor annodes before switching) seems to be doing its job: https://i869.photobucket.com/albums/ab255/Rick-W/Hull20Annode.jpg ...

... all the non-copper paints are dual biocide products. Anodes, this is the one I put on most alloy boats, http://www.boatzincs.com/azhc-2.html (not navalloy, but mil-spec nonetheless) I did that retractable mount in order to bury my side scan transducer deeper than a typical transom mount to get ...

... flavours of E-paint here now, but on the whole quite a limited selection and no Petite Vivid. Now to try and find a 3" x 6" x 1.5" Navalloy anode with embedded bolt on strip. PS I like what looks like a retractable sounder strut on the stern of your boat. That is a project I mean ...

... because "they last a long time and in fact I've never had to replace 'em but those ones on the motor go bad real fast!" Like 3F8 said, Navalloy, or any quality aluminum anode should be used on our hulls and engines. Even the boat builders make the same mistake of putting on zinc and ...

Navalloy anodes may be an option. Features: Navalloy is more active than zinc so it gives better protection Navalloy anodes last up to 30% longer than zinc anodes Navalloy anodes self-clean in freshwater Zinc anodes form a ...

These are pics of my original zinc (one year wet slipped) Top is the new Navalloy with it. Second pic is the Navalloy (one year wet slipped). The Navalloy looks to me as being more active.
(expand top pic)

Have not tried them, still using traditional zinc on my hull, oem aluminum on my engine, might try the navalloy next time on the hull, see how they do. If I trailer boated I would use the navalloy for sure because they apparently don't need to be cleaned frequently to keep them active.

What is your thought on Navalloy?

... that the outboard manufacturers are shipping with new motors. If they are truly zinc, would you want to swap them for aluminum, magnesium or Navalloy if that is what your main anodes are? new engines ship with aluminum anodes

Did you get your boat from Marty?

... read the fine print. To get the coveted radar overlay on the chart. You need a heading sensor. That clicks off another $500. The new anodes are navalloy. This is a test. More to come.

The bottom paint isn't too bad. Like Sculpin some electronic upgrades. Also basic maintenance. I will be trying out Navalloy instead of zinc for anodes. Looking to get the structure scan and 3G radar online. Yes there is purple, but there's more gold than purple. Your right most ...

Has anyone tried Navalloy?
