[Alberg30] Bonding of hull fittings?

[George Dinwiddie]

I would think that electrolysis and galvanic corrosion would be less of 
a problem in fresh water, due to the fact that there are far fewer ions 
dissolved in the water.  Perhaps someone who normally sails on the Great 
Lakes can tell you what is the normal course of action there.  In any 
event, there is no point in bonding if you have no zinc.
