Just hot coat it w epoxy and that will last.

I bought my bimini from a guy who restored an ole Mako from the 70`s.
Original float on trailer. The original owner had coated all of the hardware w a brew of roofing tar and kerosene. No corrosion.

Secret spilled.

I was also told the carpet on the bunks was actually old fire hose attached with monel staples. Lasts forever. They give the hose away.

Cheers,
Secret Sandy
