Either it's a gross oversight on industry's part or a gross ignorance
problem on my part ....who can really tell?

When you consider that there are only about 12 million boats in the
whole country, that 95% of them are too small to need any faucets, that
50% of boats are in fresh water where salt water corrosion--and
therefore the need for replacements--isn't an issue...and that 95% of
those owners who do need replacements only want the cheapest thing they
can find...that doesn't leave much of a market for high end "marine
grade" replacement faucets.

We sometimes tend to forget how really minsicule the boat market is when
compared to the market for houses, public buildings, cars etc. The cost
of just reaching owners to let them know you have a high end marine
product can be prohibitive, never mind the extra mfr'g costs.
