[QUOTE="oakchas, post: 421464, member: 18746"] Thanks for elaborating! I love learning new stuff. The PO of my boat used green treated lumber and galvanized lags to hold it down. I got lucky. The green lumber (treated with copper) had not yet attacked the boat hull. And, the screws holding the fixtures down on my boat were probably chrome plated at one time. Oar locks, nose piece, transom corners. The screws were all there, but a bit rusted. The galvanized lags I mentioned before were in similar condition. Most of those had gotten wet at some time but all in all, in good shape. As for me, I'll probably use SS for trim, but elsewhere, for structure that may see much fresh water, I'll stick with galvanized. Sent from my VS987 using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
