Then go buy a stainless bowl and fill it half full of water.
See how long it takes to develop its first pin hole.
A matter of weeks or less, quite likely.

Which was all I was debating. Not the fact that stainless will

There is a big difference between 'stainless' steel used for domestic ware
and the type that should be used for boat fittings.
Use a strong magnet and if it attracts the so-called 'stainless' item then
that item has no place on your boat.
