boat rash
n.— «My CPA came to me last year and asked if there was anything I could come up with to protect his nice, expensive reels from getting beat up, or what I call “boat rash,” on sport boats.…He came up with a problem, and I solved it with Nu-Skin Reel Armor. It’s a clear, flexible semi-permanent transparent membrane that covers both side plates of the reels, but doesn’t affect their mechanics.» —“Innovative gems” by Ed Zieralski Union-Tribune (San Diego, California) July 22, 2006.
