[QUOTE="minuteman62-64, post: 365527, member: 15157"] I have an '82 Bayrunner, by Westcoaster. Pretty sure the hull is 5200 series aluminum. Got some corrosion under the bunks (see attachment). The boat sat for about 20 years on old degraded carpet and moldy bunks. I'm pretty sure the corrosion was already there when I replaced the bunks and put on new, quick dry, West Marine carpet. Just to make sure, I'm thinking of adding some of those "Glide Sticks" (from West) this winter. Anyways, no sign of pin-holes/leaks from this corrosion. So, my question: should I leave this alone or is there some sort of treatment that will "stabilize" it? Am I correct in assuming that the corrosion is somehow related to the bunks? Adding Glide Sticks a good idea? [ATTACH type="full" alt="Hull Corosion.jpg"]67816._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
