is there any problem with fixing aluminium plate onto fibreglass.

im putting a baitboard on and im using ali plate as mounting material

just thought there might be a corosion problem .

If your using Ally plate then Stainless steel screws, or bolts with nylon lock nuts be better, to mount it.
Then your going to have a corosion problem.

It will be that white salty looking stuff thats hard to get off.

Best use Stainless all round.

Sorry to offend.
Don't get me wrong there will be no problem, structually, for some time.
But once you mix a more knoble metal SS, to a less knoble metal Ally.

There will be corosion in the less knoble metal, in time.
