you have cracks and corrosion in your rig? Personally I would thank that rust.

I'm not trying to be rude, but your post seems flat ass dangerous to me. Rust comes off with a scrubby. If the rust doesn't come off, the rusted part does -- for a real close inspection.

Are you a commercial post mate? I don't think you are really welcome here if you are.

And, do you actually put some miles on in blue water, or do you just hang out on the dock and rig boats?
