Galvanic corrosion, right. Maybe that's why my hair is getting thinner, I have an electrolysis problem.

I'm setting up my Bravo with a 1.25" through hull water pickup and a strainer. That's how it was when I got it, but I'm junking the brass ball valve and using a bronze seacock. The water pickup in the transom plate is blocked off. Does that solve the problem?
