Aluminum Extrusion
Michael-
Zig Zags? You must have me confused with one of the other Terrys. Maybe aluminum cap would have been more understandable. Most aluminum, unless cast or hogged from a billet, is extruded to get the final shape. For instance a sliding door track is an aluminum extrusion. Under high pressure the aluminum is forced through a die of the desired shape- kind of like squeezing tooth paste out of a tube.
You are correct, never take a new boat on a long trip. Check her out first where you can easily be towed if necessary. Sorry about your troubles, just think of all the stories you have for the next CSC gathering! A good looking boat, BTW. Of course I always thought the Seafaris were tops!
