[QUOTE="1960 yellowboat, post: 468095, member: 24593"] First, I would run the length of the hose and see there are any metal fittings touching the aluminum. If there are, you have to isolate them. That foam insutation sold for water pipes would work but its kind of big. Next, inspect the interior of the stern to see if the corrosion is spreading. You'll have to remove it and neutralize it. I'd put a piece of aluminum sheet over the area and apply West Marine G Flex from the outside. You apply it and heat it and the heat draws it in. You may have to repaint the entire stern so you can't see the patch. Before you do anything,talk to a boat dealer and get his advise on the repair I mention. I'm just a guy with a boat, not a boat repairman. [/QUOTE]
