replace stand rigging 304 or 316 ss?

Post by jack cothren »

I will be replacing the standing rigging on my 79 cd 28 this winter and have done a search on the subject but found only 1 reference in regards of using 302/304 ss or the more corrossion resistant 316 ss ...was the original rigging on cd's of the 316 variety? (as the 1 post alluded to) thanks for any info jack

Jack,
Just replaced mine with 316, the 304 that's availible now days is so crummy that 316 is the only option.
