I prefer chrome plated brass for marine and salt environment over
stainless steel. With enough exposure and time, SS will rust. Brass
never rusts. james
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.
Howdy Jim,
Yes SS does rust, but at a far lower rate than regular steel. Brass might
oxidize a little, but will never corrode under salt air environments.

Hey Shark, my point was that stainless when used and inspected
accordingly would perform just as well as brass at a lower cost. Should
have said that originally. Its actually a silly point as we are talking
nickels and dimes.
