[QUOTE="richg99, post: 408866, member: 4376"] If your epoxy patch is on the bottom of the boat, I don't see a need for UV protection there. It will never see sunlight. I do wonder what caused the pitting? As you may have noticed if you've read this site at all, using non-treated lumber is strongly recommended for bunks and any other items attached to the hull. It is possible that the bunks on many boats were made of Treated lumber. Their chemicals leak through the carpet and start a reaction with the aluminum boat, whether it was painted or not. Do the pitted areas line up with where the bunks contact the boat? richg99 [/QUOTE]
