Is 316 or 304 stainless better for marine use?

316 stainless is better for marine environments. It contains molybdenum that significantly improves resistance to salt and chloride corrosion. 304 stainless is fine for occasional-splash or freshwater use but will show rust staining in constant saltwater exposure.

What does “working load limit” mean on marine hardware?

Working load limit (WLL) is the maximum load a fitting is rated to carry safely in normal use — well below its breaking strength, with a safety factor built in. Always choose hardware whose WLL comfortably exceeds the real-world loads it will see.

Why do stainless bolts sometimes corrode or seize?

Usually because of galvanic action between dissimilar metals (like stainless in aluminum) or crevice corrosion in low-oxygen spots. Use compatible metals, an isolating washer or anti-seize compound, and rinse with fresh water after salt exposure.
