[QUOTE="jonmac3569, post: 217223, member: 6462"] When I took the braces out of my boat, they were held in by self tapping screws. Some where rusted almost in half. They were in there 35 years so not surprised. I am getting ready to replace these, the only thing I can find that is the same size are the zinc coated screws in the pic below. They are the exact same size. Will these react with the aluminum? Should I just use a stainless screw that is not "self tapping"? The hole is already there so not sure why I would need them anyway.
