Trim Tabs - stainless or aluminum?

Post by captainmaniac »

I know I should know this - just having a major brain fart here... Original Boat Leveler tabs on a '79 vintage F series hull were made from stainless, not aluminum, right?

Mine are stainless, though they were painted with bottom paint when I got the boat.

Oops... probably should have given things a bit more thought before naming the thread...... but no 'thread rename' ability I know of on the forum....

Realistically, I should have titled it : "Micron CSC issues with underwater metals and wood"

So.... abandoning this thread, and starting a new one with the right subject...
