Might have been but I don't know for sure as the PO installed it. Bob -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, January 12, 2011 2:25 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Liveaboard] Brass and Bronze
I presume your PDQ36 is a fiberglass boat. I find it hard to believe the seacock in your ac cooling system was bronze. I suspect it was brass, and poor quality brass at that. Brass is subject to "de-zincification" in seawater turning into sponge copper. I have had no discernable disintergration on any of the many W-C bronze seacocks on my vessel. The only thing still standing on the bridge of the Titanic is the bronze steering station.
