There are two parts to the centerboard hinge mechanism:

A. The hinge bearing plates thru-screwed to the centerboard itself.

B. The hinge-pin brackets which are bolted/screwed to the bottom of the keel.

On our boat, the hinge-pin and the brackets are made of stainless steel. However, the bearing plates appear to be of a different material. At first I assumed they were bronze but now I am not sure. What are your bearing plates made of?
