Bronze. Other metals= stainless prop shafts with nibral (prev bronze) props (2 shafts/engines probably differ in potential up to .5V when engine(s) run) and stainless rudder post plus of course 10 more bronze through hulls. Zincs have been on propnuts only. Lee ----- Original Message ----- From: William Sellar To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, April 29, 2008 10:25 PM Subject: Re: [Liveaboard] Through hull fittings
What is the original material? Bronze, stainless, brass, plastic? What other metal do you have underwater.

It was pink/orange and granular at the fresh break. Is this electrolysis and will all of the through hulls be equally bad? None are grounded, boat was built 12/99. How could I test the others? If I file a corner off, will the odd color show?
