Boat Trailer P20
Would this be any good for my p20? Is ALUMINIUM good or bad news?

Being serious, I know that brine is particularly abbrasive. And I also know that the the blackwater & crouch are bleeding salty...
but i thought the whole point of ali was non-rust?
I have to admit to not attending any materials lectures........They were during Home & Away!!

Just to add a little bit of use less info, certain grades of ali are ok but they have to be either 6082 or 5083. Not the stuff you can buy in B&Q!!!!

Your outboard is made form ali as are most jackplates and cheapo props, salt will eat it eventually though. Ali suffers from fatigue badly too next to steel.
