[QUOTE="airshot, post: 496832, member: 1183"] Saltwater is another issue. As a toolmaker, I have acess to real SS screws and bolts. My Dads old aluminum boat still has SS screws we installed back in the 60-70's and not one sign of any corrosion. Been using true SS screws for over 50 years and not one has ever corroded. Our shop has SS plates at the loading dock attached to an aluminum spacer, been there for 25 years and gets covered with salt in winter, the aluminum has some corrosion but everywhere, not just by the SS. You can look at all the charts you want, but my real life experiences show much different. Feel free to use and mount however the owner wishes, but in my 60 plus years, never had a single issue with true SS bolts and aluminum. My 1983 Starcraft has SS screws from the factory, going into aluminum with no issues. I don't think Starcraft would use screws that eat up there aluminum boats.. [/QUOTE]
