Are you guys as frustrated as I am with the rusting white screws Grady White used? They all rust right around the head. I have been replacing them at a rate of about 20 a season. I have replaced almost all the ones on my Marlin now, and of course there are varying sizes. One would think with the high quality boats, they would use higher grade screws!

yep. Started using all SS from a local marine dealer last year. I'm sorry to say this is an issue that has been around a very long time. The stock screws are just junk and they should have changed them to a better source by now.

Same problem here...and particularly bad with swim platform hand grasp and ladder mounts. Anyone approach Grady about this and are they responsive?

I'll be replacing all those rust-streak producers this year.
