Re: anti-seize
Swage-lok company makes a stainless steel neverseize compound called Silver Goop that is very good. It has nickel in it and maybe even silver and cost a lot. But a small dab will do the job. I used it in incinertators that would run red hot and the stainless steel bolts could be easily unbolted. With out it, they were impossible to get off without destroying the bolt and nut.
Swage-lok also has some aluminum favorable compound called Blue Goop.
There are zinc based never sieze compounds similar price to copper stuff. Generally, never ever put red metal, eg., copper, brass into white metal, eg., aluminum or zinc. Galvanic corrosion will cause the bolt to seize in the hole even with the use of Never Seize.
Navy uses a teflon based never sieze called Tef-gel? but it is not for temps above approx 400 F. This may be your best bet.
I use copper Never Seize on any steel to steel threads. I Also use it as an electrical joint compound rather than Alconox. This is not on the can recommendations, but it sure solved some problems on my skid steer and multi teminal Molex type connectors on the boat.
Correct torque recommendations are reduced due to the slipperyness of the metal parts during tighening.

Re: anti-seize
Mine is the handheld or in my case Velcro held .
About six months after I got this on I found the ones you're talking about . Wish I had two of them instead. I paid around $350 for mine and like you I'd rather have two

Re: anti-seize
Not to sound ignorant but.... lets see navy search ect .... or just buy merc 101 lets be real.... merc 101 works great no dissimilar metals in it, no worries you guys are over engineering it just to try to prove a point, be real no anti seize that simple, no worry, still say if one of my guys use it they will be looking for a job tomorrow.... end of story

Re: anti-seize
You guys have got me to really thinking about the mess I got into this last fall where the lids on my Marine Machine sea strainers seized on the buckets. The lids are aluminum and the buckets are stainless. The anti-seize I had been using looked like it had copper particles in it.

Re: anti-seize
The brown anti- seize I had been using was brown with what looked like copper filings in it. I suspect that it was just fine for ferrous metals. I since bought a couple of 8 oz bottles of Permatex anti-seize that is gray with what looks like aluminum filings. I'll check out the Merc 101 when I get a chance. This has been an interesting thread.

Re: anti-seize
Interesting but confusing.I think I'm just going to take Goodt's advice and use the merc. 101.I just ordered some from stern to stern.So I am assuming I can use 101 on stainless bolts into aluminum and also steel bolts into aluminum?Does anyone have any input on what Mopower has done to incorporate an O2 sensor and gage into tuning his carburated engine.I am hoping to use a plate like he did but I will run two gages up to the dash and mount them in a pod so hopefully it will look like a factory install.Any other ideas?
