Bob, can you throw up some pics? Are they thin spots or through the aluminum?

Thanks, Bob. Pics will help us formulate a plan of attack for you. When you get back to the boat, you might want to make a paste of baking soda and water to spread over the area to neutralize any remaining acid. If it foams up acid is still active. At least rinse that area with water.

You might get some pics of the whole Holiday. We need our addiction fed, you know. Welcome to the Starmada, too.
