most of the time i see rotten stringers on a boat, its from them sitting uncovered and filling with rain water, most alternator and starter damage i repair on I/Os are caused from water sitting in the boat. I've done four oil pan replacements in the last three months, all from water sitting in a boat. we refer to water damage from being left uncovered as sinking while on the trailer. #1 rule of boating(as told to me by a submariner) keep water out of the people holder!
