Is the metal power coated or is it aluminum

Its steel, not aluminum. The paint seems to be reasonable quality but I don't know if its powder coated paint or sone other kind.

I think it is powder coated. I have had mine for about a year in the coating/finish still looks good. I am well pleased with it.

It's metal for sure and well-built. It is so light that it probably is aluminum. We love the way it works - I got it for my wife for Christmas and she uses it frequently. It has a neat little brush cleaner incorporated into its design.

It is porcelin coated metal - very heavy and durable. My daughter in law was very excited when she saw she was getting a new one. She literally wore her old one out.

It is definitely Aluminium, the magnet doesn't lie. I went back to open sights so if you want to try it out a little cheaper I just listed the one I bought for $80 on amazon.

Did you figure anything out about this? I am wondering the same thing. It says that it's titanium coated ceramic over aluminum. Titanium is supposed to be really good, even safer than stainless. I'd love to hear your feedback if you purchased it or did any more research.

It appears to be solid aluminum with a silver powdercoat.I cut the mounting plate with ease to modify it for a sounder.It's going on the sailboat this spring.

Aluminum with a nonstick coating. Magnet won't stick and not a ceramic or plastic.

Aluminium. But it's heavily coated with some kind of inert food safe coating. Works great.

Steel. I checked with a magnet - VERY strong attraction, therefore it is definitely not aluminum. (Whoever answers aluminum is likely judging by the weight. It's not as heavy as one might expect.)

Its aluminum using it at the moment. It has a paper backing that peels of so you you can stick it down likw tape

Someone in the reviews said that it is copper clad aluminum. That is the best reason for me to avoid it. Aluminium (or for us Yanks, aluminum) is the one metal that I have found impossible to solder. The most durable insulated wire is "oxygen free." That means that the bright, shiny wire is encased in plastic, and if it is copper, I can solder the stripped-off ends to make them free from oxydation as well as a much better, solid, electrical connection.

I think it is steel coated with paint (at least feel like steel, it is heavy) if aluminum, it should be much lighter

It is aluminum but the fit is so tight on the filter that it's hard to get off once you remove it.

I purchased this post it is aluminum. installed at my fathers to replace old steel one. It is Aluminum.

It's metal but more like aluminum. I tried using a magnet against it and it won't stick. The only plastic area is the clear acrylic end for the LED

This version of the power battery is ceramic. Their was an earlier version that was made of metal. Hope that helps.

I'm not sure, but looks like gold aluminum. Works great and was a very good add-on for the price.
