Yep... its a different Chuck here. Too embarassed to remind everyone
what I asked last go-around. Just to clarify, here is a link to a
picture of the lift sheave bracket. I like the idea of replacing the old
galvanized 3/4" bolts with stainless steel ones. I am trying to figure
out how I can do this myself without enlisting a boat lift company who
will charge me BIG $$$$ for replacing the bolt on the other side. Have
you heard of this happening very much????

That piling looks rather new. The problem you *might* be having is with
the new pressure treated preservatives, ACQ or the like. There is a lot
more copper in them. Zinc is anodic to copper. At a minimum you should
be using hot dipped galvanized. If you use stainless, be careful, not
all stainless will work as planned.
