Default Anyone doing any boating these days, or boat peojects?

I'm talking with my dealer and the Legend people about a small problem that has popped up.
I'm getting a bit of blistering where they attach a lot of the stainless steel snaps onto the painted aluminum gunnel.
I know it is the combination of salt water and two dissimilar metals touching one another.
The builder should have bedded the snap or put nylon washers in between.
All the male snaps have to be taken off, any blistering ground down and repainted.
I'll apply liquid tape or something to the screws And insert washers before reattaching the snaps.
There are a lot of them due to the full stand up cover.
Reviewed my 'ships log' and discovered that I've used the boat over it's two seasons as follows..
60 percent salt water. (always flushed down with fresh after each use)
16 percent brackish water (Bras d'Or Lakes and Porters Lake)
24 percent fresh water
