Corrosion

This can occur when two different metals are in
contact near to, or in, sea water. For example, a brass
or bronze pipe fitted into aluminium can cause rapid
corrosion. For this reason, special precautions are
necessary when an engine is installed. In this situation,
some components will be connected to a sacrificial
anode fitted to the hull. Specialist manufacturers will
advise on the maintenance of these anodes.

Supplementary tools

A general tool kit and an on-board repair kit
