[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 452752, member: 15636"] You should also remove those SS bolts and put nylon washers under the heads ... as otherwise the tin in that area will be weakened and eaten away by galvanic corrosion, i.e., the dissimilar metals of SS to tin, where the tin will give up its ions to the more noble SS. This situation is exponentially worsened if the boat is used in saltwater, which is an ideal electolyte to make the electrical connection.[i] I know, I know ... overkill ... [/i] but it'll make that tin skin last the LIFETIME of the boat. [/QUOTE]
