Technically speaking, it is called galvanic corrosion.

Hey Derrick,

Go pick up some Naval Jelly....

get you some 'anodes' they will take care of your problem. the type of corrosion that you are refering to is inherent with salt water, a stray current; from lighting, or even other peoples boats..... galvanic corrosion always goes after the softest metals, therefore you use lead anodes, it eates them up first, and when you see them being destroyed, you replace them....hope this helps you.
