Type of Aluminum for Marine Environment
I recently purchased a Questus self-leveling radar mount off of Ebay.
Unfortuantely this unit was designed to be mounted on a backstay, and my boat (a Freedom 40/40 with a carbon fiber mast) doesn't have one. I've designed an adapter for it, which I will machine out of 3" round Al stock. It seems that there's primarily 2 types of Al stock available: T6511 and 6061. The part will be painted. Which of these (or some other varient) should I use considering the salt water marine environment? -- Thanks, Geoff |
