Default Galvanic corrosion

Yesterday I was on the Legend website where they have a chat function.
I asked the rep about the snaps and she confirmed that they were indeed stainless steel.
She then asked if I had any other concerns.
I felt chatty so I informed her about the corrosion problem... not really expecting to much back.
She went right to the warranty manager and quoted him as saying salt water corrosion was an unpredictable process and not really a warranty problem. He also stated they didn't recommend their boats be used in salt water.
First I heard of this and no where have I seen this in writing nor did the dealer mention it.
They did say to forward pictures of the blisters and they would consult with the dealer on what to do.
Looks like I may be looking for a good Jewish lawyer.

A good Jewish lawyer wouldn't take your case. If you want to prevent
further disintegration of your boat, don't use it in salt water. Do you
know what the third least noble metal next to lead and magnesium is?
Hint. It's one of the materials that Mercury Marine recommends as a
sacrificial anode.
