Yes, I agree, I was planning on replacing with stainless, it just doesn't seem like the old ones are stainless as they pretty much crumbled when I removed them while the stainless bolts, nuts and washers are nearly perfect condition.

Stainless steel and aluminum don't mix. You'll get severe galvanic corrosion. All hardware should be stainless steel. A keel is a bad thing to lose!

Fortunately not the bolt, but the wedge shape spacer under the washers and nut cracked. This is the piece that levels the surface the washers and nut sit on to keep it perpendicular to the keel bolt. I’m not sure, but the material may be aluminum, anyone replace these and what material did you use?
