Dave, Let us make a clear difference between boats and ships. I don't know how you run your boat. I do no what I have seen here in the States. A lot has to do with what a person is doing with their boat. It could be fishing, water skiing or just out cruising. The same can be said for cars. I have driven in Europe, including the UK. I have also driven across the US. You can drive for 8 hours in Texas and see a sign that says El Paso 440 miles. But Militec-1 has marine applications because it works in the presence of water or solvents. The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Chapter as New York Institute of Technology ran a small Briggs & Stratton engine treated with Militec-1 in an amphibious racing vehicle. Water entered the engine during high speed racing without causing any harm. The report stated the engine operated as if it were new after 1000 hours of extreme operating conditions and water contamination. There was no sign of corrosion.
