- 55 Ft Steel Trawler
Hi there,
greetings from Tigre, Argentina!
I have recently bought a 55 ft river trawler which is currently under mayor maintenance repairs in a shipyard. After having the hull thoroughly ultrasounded, one 5 x 7 ft steel plank has been replaced at each side of the keel (were the screws and rudder shafts exit the hull). According to the contractor that did the job, the rest of the hull is ready for sandblasting and painting. The boat will be moored and sail the Rio de la Plata river, where the quality of the water is very similar to that of the Mississippi in the US. Due to the different opinions heard about the number and size of the anodes to be installed, I must recon, I´m getting a bit paranoid about this issue. Any hints?
