I'll give an example of how I use the meter and why. When looking over a CS 27 I was interested in I got high readings around the port side chainplates. I figured it was either water in the core or the meter was reading the metal from the chainplates themselves or maybe the bulkhead. I checked the

That sounds reasonable. Just hard to say whether any individual spot is water or simply a void. Not trying to be difficult; I simply think we should be cautious about measurements of the unseen. Rich Knowles Indigo. LF38 Halifax On 2013-04-09, at 11:18, Joel Aronson wrote: Rich, The jump in

Rich, The jump in reading indicated it was an area of concern. He tapped the entire boat. If the tapping and the meter correlated, he felt it was an issue. Fortunately, they were few and small. In the case of a high reading at the babystay, the issue was caused by a missing bolt. Joel 35/3 The

To my point. Did the jump mean excessive/any water under the surface or simply an irregularity in the thickness or nature of the fiberglass or the presence of plywood etc. beneath the surface??? I guess what I'm trying to note is that I believe there is plenty of opportunity to make erroneous j

I'll start by saying that I only have general knowledge of marine moisture measurement, but did work in a couple of measurement labs for several years. My sense is that the best you will achieve with an inexpensive non-invasive moisture meter such as the Can Tire offering is the ability to make
