Off Topic Aluminum or Stanless Steel

I was thinking of using one of these metals as a mounting plate for my transducer on my new Waverunner. Both metals will corrode more rapidly in saltwater. I ended up using a 1/4 inch thick sheet of Polycarbonate. This has no corrosion issue and it is 250 times stronger than glass. It turned out well and it looks good too. I also mounted my Lowrance Hook 5 on to the glove box lid. This had to be done right the first time since there was no room for error. I used my Dremel and shortened the top screws so it would seat on the glove box. I have the battery in the front storage area in a dry bag.
