Strap Toggles
Ahoy Mat ,,,, F W I W ,,,, I don't like ss strap toggles . My used boat came with SS strap toggles on the SS chain plates . The SS strap toggles were clean and bright, no rust showing .
Upon disassembly I found spider web like cracks emanating from the C/P pin holes ,,,, these weren't visable , assembled , because the strap covered the area .
Later I come to find out that stagnant salt water causes crevice corrosion on SS .
My strap toggles were holding salt water drops between the C/P's and toggle straps , thus the crevice corrosion , so, bad SS design in my book .
