I am looking for information and/or experiences pertaining to electrolysis and galvanic reactivity on commercial fiberglass hull fishing vessels. Particularly the reactions of AC & DC voltages (stray voltages due to improper grounding) on 6063T aluminum, nickel plated brass, mild carbon steel, copper piping, 304ss, 316ss, 18-8ss and galvanized steel.

hmm i'm a little bit confuse here. fibreglass is not a metallic item therefore corrosion shouldn't take place. galvanic corrosion usually occurred when there's two different metal connected together which each of the metal have different potential. galvanic corrosion can be avoided by using non metallic insulator, at least that what i can susggest. for more reading on corrosion theory you can always surf here at http://www.cathodic--protection.blogspot.com/
