Powerboat Magazine: Understanding What’s Really Eating Your Boat

We’re proud to see our very own Jessica Gatt featured in Powerboat Magazine with a two-part series tackling one of the most common—and often misunderstood—issues in boating: corrosion.

Part 1:‍ ‍What’s Eating Away at Your Boat? The Most Common Forms Of Corrosion (March/April 2026 Issue) Jess breaks down the most common forms of corrosion affecting vessels today. From galvanic corrosion caused by dissimilar metals to stray current corrosion linked to electrical faults, the key message is clear—corrosion isn’t random. It’s predictable, and when understood properly, it can be managed and controlled through the right systems and setup.

Part 2:‍ ‍What’s Eating Away at Your Boat? Preventative Actions to Reduce Corrosion Risk‍ ‍(May/June 2026 Issue) the focus from understanding the problem to taking action. It highlights how small, practical steps—like correct anode selection, proper bonding, protective coatings, and regular maintenance—can significantly reduce long-term damage and costs.

Across both articles, one theme stands out: the details matter. Corrosion often starts where you can’t see it, and by the time it becomes visible, the damage is already underway. The good news? With the right knowledge and proactive approach, it’s entirely manageable.

These articles reflect what we see every day in the field—real issues, real environments, and practical solutions that make a measurable difference. Whether you’re new to boating or highly experienced, this two-part series offers clear, actionable insights to help protect your vessel and improve long-term performance.
