Default Re your dissimilar metal deadeye canundrom

There is this amazing material that is relatively affordable to use in place of your Titanium for dead eyes to eliminate your electrolysis issues. It's called "wood"
You may have to buy some SS shakles to make the stropping work but...........

Ah, hindsight is always 20/20. If I had known that the plates would not have fit my present rigging I would have gone that route.

The new high tech stuff is pretty cool and you could go on and on about the pro's and con's. I generally fall back to the same line in most threads like this. It is well worth the money to hire a professional rigger on a large project. All of the do it yourself ability in the world will never make up for expieriance. Even if it's just as a project consultant to go over the plan in the beginning. Almost always there will be some snafu that rears it head in the end. After you have rigged a cazillion boats these are all secound nature and can be avoided. This does not specifically apply to your issue. But is seems like the idea of spending any money on a professionals time gets fought tooth and nail, I have never understood that.

Hope your rig has come together
