[QUOTE="Buddychrist, post: 275498, member: 9403"] You cannot allow stainless to be in constant contact with aluminum because of galvanic corrosion. Basically two dissimilar metals with separate corrosion potential will have a reaction where the aluminum in this case will become the anode and the stainless will become cathode. The stainless and aluminum together will be a catalyst to corrosion with the aluminum being the anode will be the receiving end of corrosion. The speed of this is greatly increased by water especially salt water with a higher electrolyte content. Man I knew I would use something from college chemistry one day! Basically non science terms you're aluminum will start to corrode because of the stainless when it comes in contact with water and since this is a boat.. Not a great idea. [/QUOTE]
