[QUOTE="screwballl, post: 239481, member: 4837"] The issue with treated wood is the amount of copper in it, which is what gives it the green color. The more copper, the more it will bleed out and eat away the aluminum on your boat. No matter how thick you add any sealant, the copper will always come through. https://fourseasonsroofingandsiding.com/mixmetals.htm - this relates to a roof but is the same principle. Perfect example was a neighbor just down the street from me. He has a 14 ft bass boat and replaced the wooden runners and put water carpet on them. When he checked them the next summer before a trip, the aluminum was pitted and already being eaten away. He had to remove those runners and get marine grade wood that have little to no copper in it. He cleaned up the boat, sealed the problem area and hasn't had a problem since (which has been a year and a half now). [/QUOTE]
