Engine mounting bolts advice plse

[Pearl dog]

My new merc kicker comes with a mounting kit. It would seem the bolts and washers are galvanized (unmarked and slightly magnetic) and the nuts are stainless marked a2-70. The motor is mounting onto an aluminum pod.
I’m not trying to out think things here but I didn’t think to ask the dealer about the kit when I picked it up. I’m wondering if there is a different kit for aluminum vs glass? They’re closed now till Monday..

I guess my question is should everything be stainless? Or just goop them up with sealant and install…?

Galvanized steel is very magnetic. Mid-low quality stainless can still be magnetic.

A kit right from Merc wouldn't have galvanized as well.
