Aluminum masts and stainless steel bolts can indeed create galvanic corrosion due to their dissimilar properties. To mitigate this issue, it's advisable to use bolts made of a compatible material, such as aluminum or titanium, which are less likely to cause galvanic corrosion with the mast. Consulting with a marine specialist or a professional rigger would be a wise decision to ensure you choose the appropriate bolt material for your specific situation. |
