[QUOTE="fish18, post: 83062, member: 1020"] First I don't have any electrical in the boat that would have caused this. Second the bad spots have been stripped of paint and are down to bare aluminum which revealed the pitting to begin with. My best guess would be the pits were formed by some type of reaction from the wood that had been used for the decks throughout the years. Old paint stripped off to bare aluminum, so what do I use to stop the pitting BEFORE putting on the new primers and paint? OR now that the aluminum is no longer subjected to any type of foriegn matter and cleaned to bare metal will the pits stop getting worse? [/QUOTE]
