Changing out my impeller and snapped one of the screws. Housing is brass?? Guess the screws are as well. Having a hard time finding replacements in brass. They are M5-.8 x12mm. What other metal can i use that won’t cause an issue?

For my fresh water boat, I have had stainless steel socket head cap screws in that position for about 3 years with no problem... I would defer to some that knows better if you are in saltwater.
