Why 316 Stainless Steel?
CORROSION PROOF
Superior resistance to salt water, chlorides and acidic environments — the highest marine grade available.
STRUCTURALLY SUPERIOR
Higher tensile strength than lower grades of steel. It won't flex, warp or fatigue under load.
INTEGRATED BALLAST
The mass of the backplate reduces the amount of lead you carry — better trim, less clutter.
