garboard/keel drain plug question
So, the admiral was kind enough to make a run for me to Worst Marine to pick up a garboard/ keel drain plug that somehow got misplaced. We have a 1978 Cheoy Lee that I'm sure has a bronze fitting in it. Of course, Worst Marine didn't have it in bronze, so she got brass.

Without getting into a whole engineering of it too deeply, is it okay to have the brass plug in a bronze fitting? or is this a really bad idea? likely to gall? corrosion?
