Hey guys Im new here and been looking over the site for a week now. I found the site while i was looking up picks of boats. I bought a 16' PolarKraft 42" wide. It has a 25 Hp Mariner on it. Picked it up last week. On the maiden voyage we took alot of water on due to the transome being shot. I have started to rebuild it with all the great info on here, But alas I have a question. I know Steel bolts will corrode the aluminum but what about Zink? Anybody tried it? Any knowen problems? I found the Zink Hardware much cheaper than the SS stuff. And I could not find 3M 5200. So i bought a tube of 100% silicone by liquid nail. Will it work? I have not put things together yet so I can "undo" if I have to. Any Tips will be appreciated. Thanks.
