You could try Corrosion X.
Good advice. Corrosion X is a really good anti-corrosion/anti-rust product.

Stainless steel= stains-less
Not true. The name "stainless steel" is a misnomer.
quote:True. "Stainless steel" is susceptible to more stains than just those caused by rust. I know for a fact that certain acid containing products, e.g. toilet bowl cleaner, will irreversibly stain a "stainless steel" sink. Is it possible your stains might be caused by something other than rust?
leave a cast iron pot in your stainless sink for a few days. You WILL get rust stains on the stainless.
quote:
Stainless steel will rust
Period.
There are better grades surely and they all have their pros and cons but yes it will rust
Clean it up and get rready to do it again or paint it
Bottom line. I understand your frustration to be dealing w/ corroding parts after spending good money on your boat, nevertheless, it happened. I'd remove the current corrosion, apply something like Corrosion-X to the hinges and watch it closely. If you continue to have problems, I'd next consider painting it or changing the hinges to a more corrosion resistant product.

These are the replacement hinges. Thoughts?
