[QUOTE="Johny25, post: 252435, member: 7791"] I would replace the treated wood as soon as you can. The dime size areas of white powder could still be from the treated wood. When it gets wet it will leech the chemicals in it all around the boat. Not sure what type of treated lumber you put in but most treated wood has chromic acid, copper oxide and arsenic in it. When the treated wood is dry it will not deteriorate the aluminum or metal as fast, but when it gets wet then the corrosive rate increases exponentially. At minimum I would paint or seal the treated wood in an attempt to keep it out of contact with the metal. Best to replace it though :( [/QUOTE]
