Hi. Yes, silicon/bronze is a better choice. More resistant to salt water,
and stronger. Good idea. I like the stainless nut because of it's
corrosion resistance, and easily welded. I will be replacing the bolts fairly
often, so corrosion shouldn't be a big problem. These areas are used to
attach the fiberglass fairings, so strength isn't that important. I mostly
wanted a soft metal that can be cut off and/or drilled out without buggering up
the stainless nuts because the nut isn't accessible when the fairing is on.
