Bubbles on metal hull.
Hi, I have put some pictures he
www.photobucket.com/ Search for images named "sabina113" I find when I take the yacht out of the water each year I have bubbles in the paint mainly where things have been welded to the inside of the hull. The bubbles are filled with salt water which is quite strong and possibly acidy. When the bubbles are opened there is very clean steel underneath. It doesn't seemed to have corroded the steet alot. The zincs last a year ok. I guess this is some sort of electrosis or stray current erosion but was hopeing for a second opinion. Also, if anyone looks at the pictures, have you seen a driveshaft thrust bearing setup like in the picture. There is a small brass bung on top where the thrust bearing is. Do you put oil in there? Thanks asdex |
