Very cool telecommute, Tod!!! Thanks for the answer. I mistakenly bought nickel-plated steel rather than stainless bolts for my rudder's cheekplates, which are made of aluminum. So I will replace the nickel-plated with stainless.

Nickel plated is more "stable" than stainless. Tod (replying from aboard BuscaBrisas at Point Lookout Marina, MD) :-)
