Hey all. Just finishing up the replacement of the transom board in my Lund fishing boat. I ended up ordering up brass transom drain tubes because my supplier didn't have aluminum tubes that were long enough. Is brass compatible with aluminum or will electrolysis occur with brass tubes in an aluminum transom?

Welcome to Iboats iowafish..

Well the thing about through hull fittings are they are completly sealed with caulk ( 4200-5200 etc. ).

Those metals should never touch when properly bedded..so electrolysis should not be a factor :) .
