[QUOTE="sonny.barile, post: 383909, member: 18154"] Hi Im new to this forum but I have a little experience with wood/aluminum corrosion. My boat has a bare aluminum bottom and the bunks (from the factory) were carpeted pressure treated wood. I started to notice corrosion (looked like pitting from electrolysis) where the boat touched the bunk carpet. I did some reading and found out that the carpet staying wet will transmit the metals in the wood preservative thru it and be contacting the boat hull. It gets even worse if you have batteries on board and if you are putting the boat in salt water. I ended up putting some glide sticks on the bunks which keep the boat off of it, and make it a heck of a lot easier to load and unload. The corrosion has not returned. also.......with the glide sticks keeping the boat off of the carpet, you can rinse the bunks cleaner when you pull out of the water. Regards Sonny [/QUOTE]
