Is there an age when the gel coat deteriorates and you should not keep a boat in the water all season? I've heard things about different boat manufacturers and blistering gelcoat.
If you are planning on leaving your rig in the water 24/7 you need a good Barrier coat and bottom paint. Its my understanding that hull blistering is caused by leftover release agent used in the molds or something of that nature.
Are you saying that I should stay away from an older boat, say 12-14 yrs old that is not barrier coated? Regardless of owner care?
this is probably cooling water for marine AC units. In theory, your bilge pump would never come on if it isn't leaking.At my marina, I see several like this, many with the automatic bilge pumps running constantly.
