Along those lines, there is a very good book titled "Metal Corrosion in Boats" by Nigel Warren, which has more information than you knew existed about various metals and their use, especially in sea water. It's only about 200 pages, and is well worth the $25 price tag. I'm only part-way through it, but know it will be read several times, and referred to often, before buying equipment or making changes. This information may be old hat for some, but for me, it is very enlightening, especially as the author discusses the metals with details on different alloy grades and numbers, with which uses are best for each grade, and which are suitable or unsuitable for marine use. For those interested, it was published by Sheridan House Inc in 1998; the book's ISBN number is 1-57409-054-2.
