Stainless Steel and
Chrome/Anodized
Aluminum
Stainless steel, chrome-plated and anodized aluminum parts
are not totally resistant to corrosion. Occasional cleaning
and polishing with a marine chrome-and-stainless polish will
maintain and extend the life of these parts. In salt water areas,
it is imperative that you thoroughly rinse all hardware with fresh
water and apply a light coating of protective oil to enhance the
appearance after each use.
Exposure to salt water will cause corrosion leading to significant
damage to stainless steel, chrome and anodized aluminum
parts. Failure to thoroughly rinse salt water from all hardware,
and to apply protective oil after each exposure to salt water, will
accelerate the corrosion of hardware and will void your warranty.
