quote Mr. Asa:
quote david bartlett:
In freshwater use, there should be no issues at all.
The presence of an electrolyte (any water outside of a lab) should cause galvanic corrosion.
In this part of the world, we still have "Lab" clear water. Just talking practicality and experience, not what the textbooks say. I just replaced the transom in my 72 Mirro-Craft. Originally done with SS fasteners. No corrosion present, so did it again with SS.
If I was a salt water sailor, I would expect different results!
