Are they reasonable rust resistant?

They are plated with good quality chrome which makes them somwhat
resistant but they should really be wiped down as soon as possible
with WD40, Corrosion-X or BoeShield if they get wet. In a smaller
boat I'd keep them in a large zip lock bag for an extra measure of
protection. In all honesty this particular set is probably overkill
for any boat without an inboard engine but it does have a very good
selection. There are only a few extra tools that you'd need to carry
in most cases - hammer, large screwdriver, crimper/stripper, vice
grips, etc.


Thanks. I'm not mechanically competent to work on boat engines. But I
can tighten up stuff that works loose. The biggest problem I had with my
"salt water boat" was with batteries, but not for two seasons now, since
I replaced the old batteries.
