.... It makes a fine rode. jiminy what do folks think work boats carry? we don't have ss anchors or rodes. the cost is prohibitive and the life span is not as good. SS does not like to work. the only advantage SS has over good galv is that it is not supposed to rust Ever (if you get the wrong formulation it sure will). that still does not off set the cost difference. A useful little test for the stainless believers goes like this. Buy a bright shiny stainless bowl - like a surgical bowl or whatever. Put a cup of salt water in it, and leave it outside. Make sure it doesn't dry up. Check how long it takes to get a pinhole in the bowl. Try again with tap water - you should get the same result..... Brian W |
