I'm a bit confused here. Had SS dog water bowls sit wet for years,
without a bit of corrosion.
Are you talking salt water only?

I realize I didn't give you a straight answer to a straight question.
Partly because I had heard of crevice corrosion in reactor tubes with
high purity water, but the stainless bowl that I left out to test, had
salt in it. This sailor's URL is probably more relevent to sailboat
owners.
