Certain aluminium alloys are considered "sea-water proof" or "Sea-water resistant" They tend to resist the galvanic corrosion from stainless bolts quite well, but not perfectly, so a very "gooey" insulating mounting paste is usually used when mounting the bolts.
We tend not to think about it but certain conditions can also corrode the Carbon fibre itself ... and some of the resins we employ in CF composites are in reality slightly porous, and can sometimes absorb water..
If you are using CF composites in a sea-water environment, it always pays to protect it with at least a high quality Marine clear coat.
"Sapere Aude"... Dare to KNOW!
The written word is the only truly efficient vehicle for transmitting a complex concept from mind to mind...
103% of all people do not understand statistics...
Do not adjust our mind, theres a fault in reality :-)
