I bought a propane tornado heater last winter for my garage while doing my rebuild. I could get the temp up to 60-70 in an hour, it made the epoxy kick for the drying period. Some of those sealants/epoxies won’t cure in these cold temps and I didn’t have the patience to wait for warmer weather.

I don't think SS and aluminum like each other when they make contact in salt water so maybe use neoprene or other type of washers or gaskets so the two aren't touching.

Stainless Steel EPDM bonded sealing neoprene rubber washers is what I used for dissimilar metal corrosion. Also coat the bolts with tef-gel or silicone.

Oops, just re read my post. Should be "so the two aren't touching". :bash:

Because I peeked at a Lund Tiller model, I now have some modifications on seating to do.  Might as well make it so it works for me. 
Economy failure = Too many people spending money they don't have on things they don't need to impress people they don't like.
