Is there anything to rust at sea? Any springs, screws?

I bought one and everything is aluminum or plastic, I used this to tow my kayak by hand three blocks and it worked awesome and I had my kayak loaded up with a lot of gear. I think the only thing that is metal that might rust is the split ring on the cotter pin but that is a easily replaceable part at a hardware store. This is a good deal and you wont find a better product for cheaper. Just leave the tires outside for a few days or so because they do stink but the smell goes away.

The fitting appears to be copper. The spring material is unknown but durable. I've used it for over a year in and around salt water with no issues.

I had mine through a Missouri winter Lots of salt. The inside doesn't seen to rust and I've even sprayed mine out periodically with water. However the site where the hanger is welded on the outside will rust within a month or so. So try to have it done near the top or rear where you can't see it

We live in Western a Washington and take it to the beach. It comes with a chrome plated finish and we haven't seen any rust yet (2 years old) but we mainly use it for camping.

Looked like plated metal. I made replacement brackets out of some SS I had laying around. The lights are great and well sealed but I don't think the brackets could stand up to a saltwater environment.

The spring steel clip that attaches to the head band or helmet attachment would rust in salt water . As far as the light housing itself there are no rust-able parts.

no, no problems of any kind, am very happy with it. have only had it for six or eight months though, which may not be long enough for rust to show up.

No, The mounting bracket and bolt are not corrosion proof and are rusting. I plan to replace them with something out of stainless steel or Aluminum. Its a pretty simple u shaped bracket and easy to fabricate. I've had the light on since May and its in the weather constantly. Still works great and is good quality. No Corrosion yet on the actual light.

No rust on mine, and it is in a wet, humid environment. If it is plated, it will rust eventually, but it would not be difficult to replace the small Phillips screw with a stainless one if it is not stainless.

No, it won't rust but I've had to replace mine because it dropped and the screw to the head broke... and they don't sell replacement parts as far as I've found. So just be careful with it because it's not indestructible. :)

It is not supposed to rust, and I haven't had it long enough to see for myself.We've had se pretty severe storms with lots of wind lately (gusts up to 40mph) but it didn't topple over.

No signs of rust, and I live right next to the ocean. I use the mixing bowls for everything and mostly hand-wash vs. using the dishwasher.

I live on the ocean and after 9 months the rim began to rust. Where I live everything rust.

I have never used it in a salt water environment. Since there are no metal parts I don't see how it woiuld rust. The double action is fantastic and the unit is very durable

inside is bare metal so rust is an issue. ya so water would be a big problem.

There are stainless (soss type) hinges on the market. Try Hafele.com I think they may have them. I am not sure these "soss" brand hinges are rust proof. I might use them if the door was not in direct water exposure.

I think water rust should be considered with wires and batteries and rigid refund policy risk. Don't get stuck with something you can't inspect reasonably.
