[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 436221, member: 15636"] You'd be still best advised to put thick nylon washers under the heads & nuts of any SS fastener to be applied to the aluminum boat. If for use in saltwater, I take the extra precaution of greasing the body of the bolts with a waterproof marine grease, then sealing the body in adhesive-lined heatshrink. My SS bolts on the tin boats I've personally rebuilt. Oh, and the tin does too! As whereas the SS is the more noble metal, otherwise the aluminum will corrode first by releasing its ions and giving them up to the SS. [/QUOTE]
