What will this do to a trailer if it is under the boat and will it etch the aluminum?

Depends on how you dilute it and how long you leave it on, full strength it may leave a stain but not etch.

It may make the trailer where it hits a "matte" or grayish finish unless you washed it off immediately.

I'm not sure on etching. But the galvanized wheels come out lookin' really good. It's a galvanized pontoon trailer so there wasn't much spillage to worry about due to it's construction method. I used the MarryKate on my 1979 PennYan 24 XE galvanized trailer wheels also with excellent results. I would not get this product on any painted surface it will destroy it!

Don't know since I can't use the product. Did not know that it is almost impossible to dispose of this "cleaning" product - cannot throw water solution away normally and you can't return it. Sits on my shelf.

I used it on the fiberglass roof of horse trailer. Stopped the leaks no problem

I do not know. I never take my boat to salt water. There are exposed metal plungers in the back on the front of the motor.

I put this on an aluminum Jon boat. I was never worried about electrocution however moist air and water all around can lead to battery corrosion. With paddle splash and all others things that can happen on a boat I would cover it. You will also want to ad a fuse so if the battery shorts it doesn't ruin your fish finder .

Absolutely!!! Used it to cover the whole bottom of my 14' aluminum non deep n' wide and also to cover the whole stern... My boat leaked like crazy threw the rivets and seams... About a gallon or two every 10 mins. After using gluvit, no leaks!! Crazy! Only thing is it is prone to UV damage, so if you flip it for the winter, maybe tarp it : )

My understanding is NO. This is superb for repair of even fairly large holes/tears in aluminum boats but does require some drying/curing time. It does set rather quickly and is very tough when completely dry. Really doubt its effectiveness on wood. Underwater...NO....

I've only used it on my boat T tops.there aluminum and it's been a pretty good job on them. Never use that I'm bronze.

you would need to remove paint where you intend to seal. it worked on my aluminum boat very well. use with confidence. make sure to follow directions.

i had no problem with this prouduct . i used it on my boat and it worked fine . try it on something else and if you get the same result mabey you received a bad can.

Oh yeah. You can use it all over the boat, I highly recomend it on the bottom. I hit a large stump just three inches under water, put a crease right down the center bottom, the Gluvit flexed with it NO LEAKS!.

Should work just fine. I have it on a small trailer. It could rust eventually. Mine is 2 years old and looks good yet

Depends on what you want to do with it and the kind of boat you have. I put mine on a 16' Clackacraft fiberglass driftboat. We often use it on small lakes where combustable engines aren't allowed. It works well for getting us around. I would think you'd need a larger engine for an 18' aluminum boat.

I can't actually address your question directly, but having used this device to polish boats, I suspect that it may not have enough torque/power to accomplish the task if the scratches are significant, it might work if they aren't deep.

I would check with dealer. I have used this product on an aluminum boat with great results. I would be careful using it on an auto with a clear coat finish. Before using test on a small spot that is not in a noticeable spot.

I tmay depend on whether the RV is bare aluminum or is painted. It if is painted and shiny then yes, but I would not use it on bare aluminum.

Go to HomeDepot. Go to where they sell Duct-tape. Get the aluminum tape for outdoor use. It looks shiny silver roll of tape. I get the one with the highest temperature outdoor tolerance. When you get back at your trailer, clean the surrounding area really well with some dishwashing soap and water. Dry it really well. Take some rubbing alcohol with some paper towel and wipe the area lightly. Don't need to rub it. This will make sure there are no greasy area left. Take the aluminum tape and cut a piece big enough to cover the hole. Take the backing paper off and apply it over the hole starting from one edge of the tape, pressing and rubbing the tape as you move slowly over the hole with the tape. Do not apply pressure over the hole with the tape just go around the hole. You don't want to puncture a hole through the tape over the drilled hole. After you are done, put a bead around the edge of the aluminum tape with the Dicor rubber sealant. This will prevent any moisture later on to be creeping under the aluminum tape. If you can see the hole inside the trailer, you can put some clear silicone caulking sealant in the hole and wipe it smoothly and level with the ceiling. Save the aluminum tape and sealants. You might need it in the future for any other roof repairs. I check and inspect my trailer roof every so often throughout the year especially before winter and before the rainy season for any possible leak potentials. I hope this helps. Happy camping!!

Yes it will, I even bolted it opposite side of the trailer jack to save room on tongue, one set of bolts that way. Over time it may rust, mine hasn't
