What would be some good tests to confirm this? He did have ground going to the hull which I switched it to go directly to the battery. The only thing I don’t understand is you will always have a ground going to the hull would you not? The engine is naturally going to ground it? Thanks

Well I finally had a chance to cut a hole rip some foam out and see what’s going on…this is the biggest hole in the boat (size of a pencil eraser) no where near as bad as I thought it was going to be…from all of the other boats I have seen on these forums it is usually peppered with corrosion...

It shouldn’t be the paint, as far as I know it is factory paint. 2 spots that I have “fixed” with epoxy started to come loose so I pulled them off and the holes got a little bigger (barely) and again the white corrosive spots were from the outside. Hopefully this week I will have time to at...

Was scrolling through my phone the other day and found (bad quality) pictures of what those spots looked like before I realized what they were. And when I started to think about it a bit more I remembered that some of the blistering when cleaned off looked okay but had a very small indent (size...

I keep it on a trailer but he had a boat house and that is where it lived. He owned a cottage and he always had it in there. I also re did his wiring and grounded everything to the battery and added a marine grade shut off for the battery. And thank you for your suggestions it is highly...

So I bought this boat a couple of years ago. It is a 2000 Starcraft starfire 190. After the first year I noticed paint blistering and thought nothing of it. Ended up after cleaning it up there was several pin holes. I believe it was a mixture between the foam inside and he had some things...
