I used polished SS for my holding tank vents. They look very much like
the vents on Touche. I guess it is something I'll have to keep an eye
on. However, the small vent I removed was not unusually corroded.

Dennis,
Chrome does look nice. You’ve got lots of bling going on there.
Unfortunately, chrome vents for the holding tank don’t look good for
long. They start to corrode quickly. If anything, these should be
plastic (Marelon).

Listers,
Consider chrome when installing or replacing top side thru hull
fittings. When I had Touche' painted, I replaced all the white
plastic thru hull fittings with chrome. See this picture for one of them.

Makes the boat look soooo much better. If you don't believe me,
wander around your marina and look at thru hulls. The nicer, more
expensive boats all have chrome fittings. The "other" boats have plastic.
Yeah, a racer wouldn't want the extra weight. On the other hand, a
metal fitting is less likely to break off.
Call me a thru hull snob if you want but they just look better.
