SS is used, for obvious reasons, in sailing, especially in the ocean. It was my understanding that SS itself does not rust, but other material may stick to the surface of SS and those particles may rust giving the appearance that the SS is rusting. I raced off-the-beach yachts for over 25 years and never saw rust on the SS fittings on any of my boats. It's 35 years since I last sailed, but I still have some leftover SS fittings in the garage and they are clean and shiny though having been sitting in a box all that time.
