Literally look for 30-35m of water on sand (it's not hard to find) and drift over it with pilchard as bait

Voila! You have a bag of flathead.

You’ll need a decent sinker and change it around as the wind/tidal flow allows. I use a a paternoster rig with 2 flasher hooks. I prefer squid as bait as it stays on the best. From the last bouy at the entrance I head out and swing left towards Kilkunda until I get to 30-40 meters deep. Some sessio...

Even then you need to put the goop ( name i can't remember) on the stainless bolts and threads.

Pdiddy, do a search on galvanic corrosion or electrolysis.

Thanks so much for the advice on this. I think some other areas are just cosmetic and have sandpaper them away pretty easily. For the areas adjoining the bungs they seem pretty deep. I'm thinking that would be too much of an issue for sanding back? Does the Tefgel loosen the screws or dissolve them...

G'day Pdiddy Yeah, a photo would help as it could be a few things on a few spots. If it's "white-ish" corrosion, that could be the aluminium. And yes the electrolysis is what would do that. Also "dis-similar" metals doesn't help, but unfortunately unavoidable on an Ali Boat. That's when two differen...

Looks like someone has put non stainless bolts in there. Also used screws instead of bolts with nuts. Get rid of them they will fail on you. If you can't undo them drill them out, get new bung inserts and start again with 316 stainless. Sikaflex around the new ones before screwing them into the hull...

If you do use duralac wear gloves it is a chromate and is absorbed through your skin that said it is one of the best things to stop dissimilar metal corrosion widely used in the aviation industry. Ps I use it a lot on my boat an example the zinc trim tab anode and stainless bolt assemble with durala...
