Both are rated for salt water use, and are reasonably hard. The aluminum bronze (954) should wear better, but you won't wear it out whichever of those alloys you choose. I would go with the one that is easiest to obtain.

What bronze alloy material to use comes to question It has been narrowed to 2 different alloys, either #954 or #655. Does anyone know what the original material was, or can comment on these bronze alloys for use as a rudder shaft collar?
