Thru-hull: bronze fitting, stainless fasteners?

[stevebrownell]

Any issues with using stainless screws to mount a bronze garboard drain plug, or should I use bronze screws.

Boat is stored on a trailer exclusively.

Thanks.

could get galvaniz corrosion between the stainless screw and the bronze fitting. also, some grades of stainless is prone to "cracking" in salt water

Get a stainless steel plug from gemlux. http://www.gemlux.com/gemproducts.ph...ch=5&curr_pg=4
