Are there any Stainless Steel "Through-hull" valves and fittings?

I know many through-hulls are made of bronze, but I cant recall any made of SS. Im sure there around. There is an abundance of Stainless above the waterline, why not below as well?

wouldnt they be preferred to bronze or are there other corrosion issues with them?
Ive checked around, there are a lot of comments regarding corrosion, but no specifics.

In the past Ive seen boats for sale with 1-1/2 to 2" SS prop shafts and rudder shafts....are these at risk too?

You can certainly get stainless through-hull fittings, but generally bronze is preferred to stainless steel because of the corrosion issues with stainless. When I first went sailing I thought that stainless would be better. My husband explained that below the waterline bronze is much preferred.

Polish your image with the new Short Thread Thru-Hull. Why specify plastic parts when these fittings will last the life of the boat? For hulls to 5/8" thick.

Rugged Stainless Construction

Cast from certified #316 Stainless Steel alloy for strength and lifetime corrosion resistance.

We polish all visible areas to a mirror finish, then send each part through passivation for additional protection.

Thick steel sidewalls withstand continual stress and hose flexing.

Faster, Simpler Installation

A channel under the flange holds a bead of sealant, making it easier to apply a trouble-free seal.

All sizes have an end notch to hold as a gripping surface. One installer can tighten all connections from inside the hull.


The "Short" thread model makes installation possible in tight spaces and near corners.
