I'm not the coatings expert here, that title goes to (member name) Chaps as he's involved in that business and has seen first hand about everything that's involved with coating marine alloy aluminum.
So, if he's not dropped by to comment then you might try the archives/search function? I think Chaps has answered this question quite a few times in past threads? So looking up those threads and reading them a few times might help with product selection?
On another branch of the tree of knowledge, I'm pretty sure there are industrial coatings outlets that specialize in tank linings that might be able to help you with product selection? https://www.coatingpaint.com/tank-coating-and-lining/ armorshieldlining.com
https://www.rawlinspaints.com/tank-pipe-lining-coatings & PPG is well known for its very wide product line and long term performance.
Chaps may reply to a direct PM on the site? He'd sure be the one person I'd trust to give clear, straight and informed feedback for your question.
I don't reply that much anymore as I'm having some fairly preoccupying health issues combined with our pretty extensive archive of past threads. Saying the same thing over and over is not all that attractive to me right now; so I don't post much when we've already covered the topic in multiple threads.
Sorry G&R you don't feel like AAB.com Forum is still a premier Forum?
Cheers,

Thanks Kevin, I’ll ping Bob if he doesn’t chime in. Praying for good health for you.
I too have a North River Seahawk Offshore 24' and I too have had corrosion problems with my two side underfloor fish boxes. viewtopic.php?t=6124 But not the big main fish box in the centre. Firstly, I acid rinsed, but, the corrosion returned so I epoxy painted and both have remained fine since. Why this should occur and only the to the two shallower (and optional) fish boxes I have now idea. I have wondered if these fish boxes were constructed using a different grade of aluminium to the rest of the boat.salmonater wrote: ↑Thu Dec 22, 2022 10:11 pm I have a fair amount of corrosion in my under deck fish boxes

Tony, that’s the same as mine, the 2 side boxes but not the main box, I went thru the archives, and came across your posts. I applied Epoxy Barrier coat to my boxes last week. Thanks for posting this.
