I have a small depression after of the mast bulk head and thought about adding a stainless plate on deck for the mast step to sit on


Make the stainless plate at least twice as wide and make a bed on deck for both to sit on. . While making the stainless plate Ill mount some block fittings so If I ever want to run my halyards back to the cockpit the mountings would be there.
Dose any one think there would be a problem with miss match metals thats is the mast step is Aluminum and the mounting pad would be stainless steel I'm thinking 3/8 thick s/s plate
