Re: Questions on proper bolt selection

Stainless steel bolts are weak and brittle?  This is counter to
everything I have ever heard in boat construction.  Of course,
there, you are comparing a stainless steel bolt to an aluminum
one, or a steel bolt that will rust after about 5 minutes
exposure to salt air/water.  Still, a stainless steel bolt is hell
on a hacksaw.   Are you comparing them to stright steel?
