how would this work on a boat? Does it rust?

Well it would keep the napkins from blowing - not sure about rusting from sea water spray .

Love this napkin holder, I bought one for my auntie who lives right next to the ocean and uses it outside quite a bit and it's holding up pretty well no rust yet and it's been about 2 years.

No it will rust in the rain. We turn ours on the end so no water stays on it. Spray a lubricant on seat screw so it doesn't corrode. Love ours, will be using it again soon.

I have never left the ball / base on for an beyond the boating season, however, I use it around salt water all the time and have no signs of rust or corrosion so far.

I use mine on my travel trailer. It has been outside for a year. There are the startings of rust at some of the bolt connections. I suspect that after a few years in the FL weather I will be buying a new rack...which I am good with.

No. But the rustolium paint and primer spray cans would do a pretty good job. I painted a 21 foot aluminum boat with it and it looks great.

Yes if you leave it out all of the time. If you put it away when not in use for camping or what not then it works fine and no rusting.

I have had this caddy over 6 months now and no rust at all. I have had others that are chrome plated that have rusted in a month, this is more expensive but worth every penny.

I can only answer for an older boat - it worked very well. If you have oxidation, I'd say yes.

After a long time it did rust, however all you need to do is take a little bit of aluminum foil, wet and scrub the rust right off. It works perfectly and it looks brand new.

I used it on both rusted areas and non-rusted and it worked well, but it was amazing on rust. Covered the rust and really protects well. I actually painted under a trailer and through mud and rain it holds up great.

I have had no problem with rusting, just be sure to care for it properly after each use.

I believe the trolley is brass, not iron, so it will likely not "rust", but might get some copper/brass corrosion eventually. However, keep in mind that it is meant for plants, and will therefore come in contact with water. If you're planning to use it outside (I assume for the summer), wipe it down with an oily rag and spray the casters and their posts (which can rust!) with some WD-40 before using it... and again at the end of the season when you bring it back indoors. It should last for years with this simple care... I hope this is helpful.

This item is not really for water use. However, I've used it anyway in the beach, lake and pool. I've seen it rusted a bit after I've used it in the beach. I cleaned it with fresh clean water right away and did it not just once but many times. Rub a bit of baby oil and it is now working just fine with no visibility of rust at all.

I have it at a camp in the salt water marsh but use it for a cistern pump. I have a similar one on my boat for wash down but am sure it has all stainless hardware. This would get buy but unless you change out the bolts to stainless it wont last but a few years at best.

Though we have not done so, I would expect keeping it outside would be fine. Ours has travelled many hundreds of miles in the back of the truck; rain, snow, etc. It has held up well. We have had no problems with rust.

I used it to repair a 2 inch slice in and aluminum boat. It worked perfect for that endeavor. I see no rust on the repair and there was no rust on the damaged part of boat.

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.
