Hi, If there are no cracks maybe you can passivate it so rust won't come
back.

with Josh, that is just iron deposited from an unfortunate incident. Sand it
off, and go to a grit you are happy with, and soak it with something acidic to
remove surface iron, a poor man’s passivation. You can then polish it if you
like. I am sure it is fine. Bill ColemanC&C 39 Erie, PA From: CnC-List

Subject: Stus-List Forestay Stem Fitting / Chainplate Replacement I came came
back from a nice day of sailing in great winds and decent weather (usual for
Chesapeake in July) and was washing down the hull when I noticed that the
Forestay Stem Fitting / Chainplate is not looking so good. Here is a picture:

to be replaced. The Stem Plate is bolted through and they are all accessible.
Has anyone does this before? Do you have a machine shop in Annapolis area that
you have used before (besides Kato)? Here is another picture of the setup:
