------------------------------------------- That's why ships prefer bronze or brass for any exposed fittings. Stainless is only corrosion resistant. It is not corrosion proof. But salt water droplets in sufficient quantities to cause trouble don't travel far from the surf. I live on the Oregon coast a few hundred yards from the sea and have listen to surf pounding away 24/7 and smell the sea, but we have no corrosion issues, even outside, other than what one would expect anywhere metal is exposed to rain and fog. But then, in Oregon it's said that we don't tan, we rust.
