Post Aluminum screws/bolts?
Rigging my boat and looking at all the details and was wondering about securing with 2 different metal types. I understand over time this can lead to electraloysis and corrosion. I know they make aluminum screws and I'm using aluminum rivets where I can (LED nav lights and billet fuel fill). I still need to attach bilge/elec panel/12v plug/water separator fuel filter and was considering aluminum screws and or bolts.

Thoughts?

I've just put aluminum riv ruts in my boat to hold the trolling motor and my front running light. I just had a thread on riv nuts.
