aluminum boat building
Effect of saltwater on Aluminum?
I have an aluminum block engine in my wakeboard boat which is built for the lakes, now i live on salt water and was wondering the effect saltwater would have on the engine block as water goes through to cool it.
Now i flush it every time I use it with salt away for 10 minutes. Is that sufficient?
Saltwater is death to aluminum, no matter what your boat dealer says. Be aggresive in monitoring the protective anodes in your engine and on the prop or outdrive - replace when 20% or more eroded. Flushing is good, but eventually your engine will be destroyed by the salt.... Be especially wary in marinas where stray electric currents can cause electrolysis that can destroy the metal parts in your engine in a very short time. Watch zincs carefully if you're in a marina.

Aluminium boat building project
I have to build a mini floating boat for homework that holds like 30 pennies.?
Any ideas? It's due January 6 because I'm on winter break. But i want to get it over with. I need something that I can make really fast. The bottom has to be made of metal too. My science teacher said it could be just covered in aluminum foil if i wanted.
if you have access to any metal even recyclable cans, those will work, if possible use medium or large can and cut with tin snips down the middle half and half, this will hold pennies and float,
http://img384.imageshack.us/img384/9903/cancoinqs9.jpg
you could design pieces and fold and solder together to make look like real boat and seal leaks and paint, add sail or electric motor, the main idea is for it to float and hold a certain amount of weight, as well stay bottom heavy so not to tip over, you can add rigger wings or rudder fins at bottom,
