[QUOTE="FlyBye, post: 238748, member: 6170"] I appreciate all the responses. I was thinking that the reason for not using SS rivets was because they are stronger than the aluminum and would expand the rivet hole faster. I wasn't even thinking about any reactions in/on the metal. I do have a high carbon steel "L" shaped mount on the bow of my boat used as a trolling motor mount. The four bolts that connect it to the aluminum base is made of stainless steel. Is this a concern for now/later? I would hate to be the "Guinea-Pig" that sets the example for everyone else to learn from... :-) Thanks [/QUOTE]
