New guy here!
Redoing a 16/48 lowe line flat bottom. I ordered 2-3/4" sheets of marine ply wood for the front and back deck but planed on using a pressure treated 2x10 for the transom. I got it all cut out and put a layer of spar urethane on it. Then i read on here that pressure treated wood is bad for aluminum!! Dang it!
Do i need to get some more marine plywood for a new transom board or can i just put a couple more coats of spar on the treated 2x10 that i have ready to go?
I did notice some corrosion on the transom. some spots ate out but not all the way through and one spot a little smaller than a dime ate all the way threw. Could it be the old transom was treated plywood? It was all rotten mush when i took it out. Hard to identify.
I wire brushed all of the corrosion areas down to bare metal, wiped w/ acetone and primed w/ rustolem self etching primer. Should i have done anymore? Still can i guess.
Thanks
