well just shy of putting a thin coat of triple guard marine grease i dont
know what else you could do... that would definitely slow down the
corrosion...but i dont know what effect it will have on the seal of the
aluminum rubber mate.
i wouldnt say that the rubber has any actual  electrical properties...i
think its the combination of the aluminum and the rubber combined that
create galvanism.
i used to work in a facility where there was a high corrosion rate ... it
was basically a highly chlorinated pool with radio frequencies run through
the water ... if you have ever see holes corroded through stainless steel
with in 2 months of exposure...whew .... but the triple guard slowed the
corrosion considerably ...i dont know ...might be the wrong person to answer
you question...good luck!
