- Stainless is best for things like shackles, nuts, washers and lockwashers. Hot dipped galvanized hardware lasts a very long time. Electroplated hardware (zinc) must be painted to avoid rust. Avoid st

- Thanks for the tip. Also, I have found that the SS hardware sold for sailboat owners seems superior to that made for other markets. But, it is quite expensive. Keith NM5G I have had great success usi

- However Grade 8 doesn't have the same properties as Grade 5, it is much more brittle for example. I've used stainless with no noticeable trouble, and I've used galvanized (though they were longer si
