Used all stainless fasteners (screws). No problems to date. Aluminum bolts/nuts are too soft for the long term; the threads will stretch over time and the fastener will become loose. I've seen it happen. Coat your stainless hardware with a marine protector such as Lanocote by CRC which is specifically designed for this application. Or stick with tried and true aluminum rivets. Heck, they may just outlast you.</p></blockquote><p></p>
