I prefer chrome plated brass for marine and salt environment over
stainless steel. With enough exposure and time, SS will rust. Brass
never rusts.

Cheers James, but where am I missing something when you say stainless
steel rusts? Wouldn't brass oxidize in a salt environment? Besides what
I am reffering to is the nuts/bolts holding the kit together. An
observant operator will inspect his kit yearly and make adjustments
accordingly.
