If you decide to replace with stainless, talk to Guido at Garhauer Marine. My boat repair colleague just replaced all the chain plates on a Cheoy Lee with plates made by Guido. They were gorgeous. No clue on cost.
My buddy is meticulous. He asked Guido about the origin and trace-ability of the stainless he uses. Guido sent him the papers showing the metal wasn't counterfeit stainless from nowhere. Dennis C.
