[QUOTE="Specknreds, post: 115823, member: 801"] We had a 30' aluminum boat that stayed in the water for 25+ years that developed a electrolysis problem. After pulling our hair out for over a year, we discovered that we were getting stray electrical current through a faulty underwater light the dock next to us had. We ended up purchasing Electro-Guard https://www.boatcorrosion.com/product620FM.html It solved all of the problems, but it was expensive. I have seen what I believe you are talking about. The metal is pitted, white residue, and brittle. This was on boats that was "say" just pulled up on the bank neglected and mainly not washed. I have my aluminum boat in salt water just about every weekend and haven't had the first problem with the boat. The motor is a different story. I just replaced the anodes on my Yamaha and it is washed every trip. It's no different than your fishing equipment. If I neglect washing my rods and reels just one day later they will show signs of corroding. If your going to play in salt water, you will deal with the salt or you will pay the price. [/QUOTE]
