Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " In the never-ending war against rust and corrosion, knowledge of the enemy is the sailor s best defense, and Nigel Warren is the Sun Tzu of corrosion. His third edition of Metal Corrosion in Boats covers all aspects of this often perplexing subject on how to prevent or at last reduce the harmful effects of water hulls, engines, rigging and fittings. While great attention is given to the age-old problem of galvanic corrosion, this new edition delves deeper into the effects of electrolytic corrosion, fast becoming a greater concern as more boats are plugging in to shore power. Modern super sealants, copper sheathing and chromium plating are also examined. A useful reference tool for boat owners and builders alike, Warren s book contains helpful color illustrations, and clear informative diagrams and tables. -- Sailing"--Amazon.com viewed Nov. 15, 2022.
