How do the abs constructed inspection ports hold up compared to the stainless steel? Thank you, Tom


For an in the deck, ABS plastic holds up well. They are not expensive, and strong enough. If the port were below the waterline, then I would want bronze. Most SS we get these days (even some claiming to be 316, from China tend to rust.)

Any of these ports need seals replaced on a regular bases. I keep mine lubricated with silicone grease.
