Abstract
A method of manufacturing boat parts submerged when in use comprises producing a metallic skeleton structure shaped for easiest production by conventional metal-forming methods, and covering this structure in a mold with an adhering layer or coating of a thermoplastic resin or a rubber-based vulcanizable substance. The inner walls of the mold have high finish and the desired streamlined outer shape of the finished product, such as a lower unit of a propulsion system, or a propeller and the like. The coating functionally neutralizes the technologically conditioned and generally not streamlined shapes of the skeleton structure and provides a protection of the skeleton structure against electroerosive corrosion.
