[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 127210, member: 55"] Pressure treated wood in the transom. My guess is the boat manufactures missed the memo that pressure treated wood recently was changed, and is now copper impregnated. Copper and aluminum are dissimilar, and the marine environment just speeds up the corrosion. Same thing happened to another member (can't remember who), not that long ago. He had a nearly new Lowe, and started seeing pinholes in the transom. His boat was used in saltwater, which is why the corrosion appeared so quickly. [/QUOTE]
