Whilst not necessarily the same as your salty operation, the house I
live in is 40 metres back from the harbour side. We regularly have high
winds and get salt spray/mist on the windows. My K3 #345 has so far not
been used outside the house and shows no sign of corrosion to the
apparently susceptible exterior screws.

All,While on a mini dx-pedition, most of the original exterior screws in my K3
developed rust after operating near salt water for 10 days. I have ordered the
stainless steel screws to replace the original exterior K3 chassis screws.
1) Should I be concerned about rust developing inside my K3?2)Over the next
several years, I plan to operate near salt water for extended periods and
want to make sure I'm am not going to damage my K3. Is there anything I can,
or could have done differently to prevent the rust from developing?
