All this talk of leaking toons got me paranoid and..........

Some one just told me the earth was flat. I'll be damn

It's true. I read it on the internet.

I thought we were stuck on a plate on the back of a turtle

No if you use a magnet you will see your wrong. With the poles shifting magnets only work in certain areas.

And what about where these stainless parts bolt to your aluminum rail?

I would agree stainless and aluminum do not react if I had never seen it but I posted pictures of bolts where it happened.

Screws holding the mounting brackets go right into the rail, as do the strap hooks which are also stainless. Safety pins are also stainless. Pictures of my boat are everywhere on here. I'll get some later if you really want to see. What you posted pictures of was corroded aluminum. We already went over the part where saltwater seeping into the threads and sitting there without ever being painted or maintained will cause corrosion. If the boat were ever cleaned and or maintained properly there wouldn't be a problem. Where's the proof the stainless caused the corrosion ? Try using 3M marine 5200 or another sealer before putting those bolts in (as recommended by every boat tech I know) and you won't have a problem.

The brass snaps you showed me, now that's severe corrosion caused by dissimilar (reactive) metals. Didn't you admit over and over you rarely change plugs and water pump impellers ? Well when you don't do proper maintenance then you end up causing problems such as stuck bolts and corroded parts.

Can anyone else show me aluminum corrosion caused by that evil stainless steel ? Anyone ??
