I'm looking for bow rail bases and tee's. The rails are aluminum.
Is Stainless suitable (galvanic corrosion)? This is saltwater operation.
Seems the only other option is Zamak. Can't find any supply of aluminium fixtures.
Any suggestions and sources?
Thanks, Mike ;?

In salt you'll have to replace the rail with stainless. Use the old rail as a pattern. Suggest however that you up the rail to one inch and raise it to mid thigh level at least. Double the number of uprights.
