If your bolts are stainless, they should not rust. Might be time to take a look at the condition of the bolts and replace them if needed.

No leaks. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
