What is a pontoon boat?
A pontoon boat is a flattish boat that relies on pontoons to float. Pontoons may be used on boats, rafts, barges, docks, float planes or seaplanes. Pontoons may support a platform, creating a raft. A raft supporting a house-like structure is a houseboat. A fixed platform can be used as a dock. Common boat designs are a catamaran with two pontoons, or a trimaran with three. Pontoons may be simply constructed from sealed cylinders such as pipes or barrels, or fabricated as boxes from metal or concrete. Pontoon boat drafts may be as shallow as eight inches, which reduces risk of running aground and underwater damage. The pontoon effect is when a large force applied to the side capsizes a pontoon boat without much warning, particularly a top-heavy boat. Pontoon boats for pleasure boating and fishing can be low cost for their capacity, and cheaper to insure than other boats, even when equipped with substantial engines.

Can copper sulfate interact with the aluminum pontoons on boats?
Yes, copper sulfate can interact with aluminum pontoons on boats through a chemical reaction known as galvanic corrosion. When copper sulfate comes into contact with aluminum, it can cause the aluminum to corrode at an accelerated rate. This is due to the difference in their electrochemical potentials, leading to the transfer of electrons and deterioration of the aluminum surface. It is important to avoid using copper sulfate near aluminum pontoons to prevent this type of corrosion.
