Many people don't know that salt water kills rot spores. It's the fresh water getting into your boat that will cause rot. Caulk every hull penetration.


Guess I am one of those people. I see LOTS of rotten wood that has never been out of saltwater except when the boat is pulled out of the water for maintenance.
Oh, what is a "rot spore"? never heard of that either...
