Aluminum plate + stainless fasteners + bilge water = electrolysis at its best.
And add to that a very crappy, and inadequate float switch and rule pump lead wires (if you happen to have those), and it gets even more fun.

Hard part was figuring out how far up to drill thr holes for the ties.

I used little fiberglass blocks epoxied to the hull. This was an early project (14 years ago... yikes!) and I'd do it better now. However, I can replace the little bilge pump without pulling everything out, since it's hose clamped to the bracket. That's turned out to be a good idea. <http://www.wbryant.com/StellaBoat/Projects/bilgepmp/bilgepmp.htm> Wal Tom wrote: I am planning on mounting my new auto bilge switch to a plate then lower the plate into the bilge and mounting it to the side of the bilge. Much easier than trying to mount to the bottom of the bilge. My question is if I use an aluminum plate and mount it with stainless fasteners, will I have any corrosion issues? _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com -- Joel 301 541 8551
