[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 429790, member: 13599"] [b]you have done an [i]AWESOME[/i] job on your build so far !![/b] not to give you a yes or no to your question: but, many of us use stainless fasteners with aluminum parts with little to no ill effects. If you are in a total salt water environment, you may see more incompatability than someone in the middle states. how often your boat gets wet and stays wet during storage is another factor. a paper mill in your neighborhood will definately be another negative factor. [ATTACH type="full" alt="compatibility chart.png"]90472._xfImport[/ATTACH] I ran across this article on the subject by Fastenal Fasteners the other day. you might find it an interesting read for any future concerns.
