Re: Fuel Tank Fastening System Retrospective
The main cause of crevice corrosion in aluminum fuel tanks is due to contact between the aluminum tank and any other surface where there is water in between the two surfaces. The only way to prevent aluminum fuel tank crevice corrosion [in a Boston Whaler boat when a new fuel tank is about to be ins...

Re: 1981 Outrage V-22 Sterndrive

REVENGE V-22: One-inch Brass Through Hull Covers
I recently replaced four 1-inch brass through-hull fittings on my Revenge V-22. I want to replace the corroded covers. I cannot seem to find a source.
[Implied question: What is a source for the Perko Clamshell Vents used to cover drain outlets on the hull?]
Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Checklist for Buying Classic 17-footer-Moisture Meter
I sure wish I had a moisture meter when I was evaluating my newly purchased 1980 Revenge V-22. When I pulled my first through-hull to replace it, water came dribbling out from the hull. As I got further into the project, I purchased a moisture meter, and found that it accurately measured the portion...

Thanks for the reinforcement of how much this is ultimately going to cost me. To keep this older boat alive will be worth the costs.
