Default electrolysis

The corrosion may not be from electrolysis. Please remember that aluminum
(aluminium) is very reactive. It could be a reaction from chemicals in the
air from industry. Is it present on the inside as well as the outside? Most
people that own aluminum boats paint them with 2 part polyurethane and be
done with the problem. If you elect to go that way, be sure to use an
etching primer first.
