SS to AL fittings are actually very common in the sailing world.... AL masts with many SS bolts/ screws attaching things to it and galvanic corrosion is definitely a problem, particularly in salt water environments.

There are several ways to minimize the corrosion, i.e. Coat all the threads liberally with Teflon pipe dope is what I have done (several other things such as a lanolin based grease also helps).
