ps: What did you mean by "Stainless will eat up the aluminum... "

Stainless will set up electrolysis in the aluminum and you will end up
with a big white powdery hole where the bolt was.
Salt water will really speed up this reaction but any water will do.
There is a teflon compound you can put in the joint to slow it down
but if strength is not a real big deal, aluminum bolts are better.

I am very glad you mentioned this concept. I understand what electrolysis
is, but never delved into or really thought about what metals are
sacrificial to the other aside from my anodes. I can find aluminum, but how
about just plain galvanized screws/bolts?
