E29 THRU HULL Yes I used the word *brass* unintentionally, the threaded thru hull is bronze and I was thinking to install a stainless steel ball valve. Do you think there will be a problem with electrolisis with the two metals??

I have to replace one of my cockpit drain 1 1/4 marelon ball valve atached to a thru-hull. I found a stainless steel ball valve, which seems to be very good. my question is: could I use the stainless steel valve on a brass thru hull or will that cause galvanic corrosion???

I own a 1978 Ericson 29 I would like to know how the chainplates are atached to the hull and also if they should ever be replaced.
