Hello all.
I am new here. First post.
After 15 years during which it remained stored, unused, I am assembling my HC 16. To my surprise, the aluminum pivot pins of the rudders had become one thing with the castings, and I had to saw the pins to remove the castings.
Now I am thinking of replacing the pins with stainless steel pivot pins, but I am afraid of galvanic corrosion. Although the boat would be in the water only when used, it remains outdoors in a very humid area, often foggy in winter (i. e. everything gets wet, and remains wet for days and days).
So my question: is it a good idea to use stainless steel pivot pins to prevent what happened to the aluminum pins that I had to saw from happening again, or would the steel cause more problems?
Thank you very much, 81740
