[QUOTE="Tin Man, post: 512740, member: 7021"] I am preparing to install a Lowrance 3 in 1 AI transducer on my new Tracker Hull which is painted aluminum. Lowrance transducer mounting bracket is made of stainless steel. Reading install instructions from Lowrance, it suggests using a plastic isolating material such as "King Starboard" to prevent corrosion between Alum hull and SS mounting bracket (dissimilar metals). I was planning on installing SS bracket directly to hull, as I want to use the existing two holes from previous transducer. However, after reading install instructions, perhaps I should use a piece of King Starboard (HDPE) and screw it into hull using the two existing holes and attach transducer bracket to HDPE. Will direct mounting bring about corrosion? Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
