Boat Trailer P20

[Silversurfer]

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

I saw that, looks blinding........just needs some brakes on at least one axle.

 

[Captain Chaos]

what ali?

 

[Silversurfer]

Is that for real or a piss take?
Is there a physicist on board?

 

[Captain Chaos]

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!!!!

capt i think you are getting confused with your stomach again,its the hot dogs that are in brine

 

[Captain Chaos]

Dont do hot-dogs!

 

[Silversurfer]

Point taken - thought it was cheap!

There are plenty of ali boats about, as long as it's the right stuff it's fine.

 

[Captain Chaos]

Knew i wasnee being stupid!

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.

Ive got a yank trailer its the tits but really heavy and wide. Its got a system you connect your hose to that blows the salt out of the bearings. I took all the brakess off well i cut the pipes as there illegal and they never worked right but other then that its like new
