[QUOTE="blink, post: 249086, member: 7981"] Brine, thanks for the tips. I used aluminum 3/16" rivets to attach the joist hangers, but i put clear silicone in the holes for leakage and behind the joist hanger to act as an isolator. The thing about dissimilar metals though is that even stainless and aluminum will make a battery. That got me thinking about where else i have conditions like this. The lags for my seat supports are SS, and the splate is aluminum. the piano hinges are aluminum, screws are stainless. i will use the silicone liberally for these conditions. I just looked up 3M 5200 and i will grab some of that. I have been using 100% silicone, which is an amazing sealant and adhesive as well. I do plan to work on the trailer. It needs paint, badly. I like your idea. i could just move the bow roller and the rope crank back a foot or so. [/QUOTE]
