Ayuh,...

I had somewhat of an Issue like that with my tin Starcraft a few years ago, when I mistakenly ran a Ground Path thru the hull, instead of wires...

I just sanded as normal,+ used the Rustolium brand of Aluminum primer,+ now touch it up with the regular Rustolium enamal....

If you've got Pitting on the Inside of the boat,... Use Gluv-it...

Re: Pitted Aluminum boat

It,s not a ground issue but looks the same,the previous owner kept it dock all summer and had no anodes to procet it,was fresh water mind you but pitted below water line,i have some aluminun filler from canadian tire thin down works ok,so will just fix the water line and forget about the bottom with fresh paint will look fine,getting cold here already frost this morning so want it painted before snow comes.
