Gooserider could aluminuim be plated (with copper?) instead fo anodising? would that work better or worse?
I am not totally up on what can be plated on what, but I don't think it is possible to do Cu on Al.

I certainly wouldn't consider it a good solution for constant immersion since any flaw would really open you up for corrosion problems. Generally, I just feel it is best to avoid putting Al in the system at all, as it keeps life much simpler.
