My K3 is exposed to trade winds and salt air for as long as I have owned
it,
about 4 years now, had to put in the SS kit, but other than the exterior
screws rusting nothing else shows any signs of corrosion, much better than
any other gear I have here in the salt air.

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?
