Are the mounting brackets Stainless Steel? I am mounting these on a boat used in Saltwater.

I purchased 4 lights at two different times. They are all steel powder coated black and are magnetic.

The case is aluminum which will corrode in salt air much fast then the non SS bracket and the wiring and electronic inside the case will be a pile of white dust long before the case goes.

They are coated in black. Not sure what coating is, but I would think they will hold up. Very well might be stainless steel underneath.

The case is aluminum which will corrode much sooner than the plain steel mounting bracket. they are both painted so they will probably outlast your boat. (even if your boat is stainless steel)

Yes they mount easily and and as for weather resistant, they have held up pretty well vs my old one. Hope this helps.

Yes, Dale, even the supporter rods on mine are made of stainless. It's really a great product!

No, they are not stainless steel - they are plated. Be sure to dry thoroughly because the plating has oxidized and started to come off on my set.

I bought these for use in south Fla salt water. They're stainless with plastic grips. They seem rust-free, but it's only been a few months. Rinse with fresh water if you can to prevent surface pitting. Line cutting is no problem. They might be a little short for removing swallowed hooks on larger fish. Tip of pliers is notched for split ring manipulation, but teeth further along will grab hooks. Nice lanyard. Good luck. Hope this post is not too late.

I'm not certain if they are stainless steal or not, but I suspect they are because we've had the teak bench for several months now in a constantly very wet shower environment (we shower about twice a day), and so far the screws do not appear to be rusting at all. No rust problems yet!

They are stainless steel. My only regret is they don't fit my Kenmore BBQ as well as when I first put them in. They seemed fine at first but when they got hot they bowed upward. The Diffusers hit the grill so I have to be careful nothing flames up or burns. I was not aware of any warranty. I have learned how to use them the way they are.

No. They are not stainless steel. The front panel has a brushed stainless look but they are plastic. However, they are still a great product and have served me well for a long time.

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.

They are definitely stainless !! a magnet sticks to them and a magnet will not stick to aluminum !! It says to keep them polished and or waxed to keep them protected and slick !

I'm not sure, I live in Oregon we have rain, snow, heat over 100 degrees for weeks at a time. I installed these 2 years and they have zero rust, they still look new. Be aware I have only used the boat in fresh water.

They are aluminum and aren't rusting at all. I'm pretty sure aluminum won't rust. I'm not sure about the coastal areas but I do have mine around my pook which is salt water. They are very pretty and heavy pieces. I hope this helps!

Any steel will rust if submerged in water long enough. I do not suspect that they are stainless steel. If it helps, I live in Miami with high humidity and salt content and have had no trouble as of yet. Ultimately, I would categorize them as rust resistant, not rust proof. You can get plastic latches that will not rust but the strength and quality will be lacking. It really depends on you and your needs.

I do not think the screws are stainless steel. However, I have owned the chairs now for about a year. After rain and snow, there are no rust stains. These chairs were very well constructed. I think they will last for a very long time.

The screws are not stainless steel however they are treated with a zinc dichromate plating. Lakeland Mills, Inc provides a 1 year warrenty.

They are fine for light saltwater fishing and will hold up to the saltwater (IF) you clean them off when you are done. Saltwater will cause corrosion on just about any metal. It is wise to clean even the finest of saltwater gear.
