This title in other formats:The Boatowner's Guide to Corrosion: A Complete Reference for Boatowners and Marine Professionalsby Everett Collier
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:"The best explanation that I have seen of corrosion on boats."--Nigel Calder, author of "Boatowner's Mechanical and Electrical Manual"<P>"A powerful weapon in the war against metal deterioration."--"Cruising World"<P>Corrosion is a constant, often expensive, and sometimes dangerous problem for boaters. Moisture, salt, electrical currents, and chemicals create a potent combination that can attack the metallic (and sometimes nonmetallic) parts of your boat. Everett Collier, an expert in marine technology, details all the types of corrosion--including simple galvanic, electrochemical, and electrolytic--and explains how to identify, combat, and prevent them. The most comprehensive book on this subject, "The Boatowner's Guide to Corrosion" shows you how to: Prevent corrosion with proper grounding, cathodic protection, protective coatings, and careful selection and matching of metal parts Protect your boat's hull, deck gear, masts, and rigging, as well as its propulsion, electrical, plumbing, and steering systems Recognize and cure developing corrosion before it can damage your boat <P>Everett Collier is an electrical engineer and amateur boatbuilder who lectures and consults in advanced manufacturing technology management. An avid cruising sailor, he also serves as an adjunct faculty member at Northern Essex Community College and writes for marine industry magazines including "National Fisherman."

The Boatowner's Guide to Corrosion covers all types of corrosion in every metal boat part and fixture, both above and below water. About the AuthorEverett Collier is an electrical engineer, an avid cruising sailor and powerboater, and an amateur boatbuilder. He was most recently a director of technology in GTE's Precision Materials Group.
