Good that NMI is stepping up to the plate. I a have also seen supposedly 316 SS rust on a C Dory. My 2006 Tom Cat had several fittings that I had to constantly keep polished, and use protection on. The problem is that many of the marine fittings come from China--and the quality control is not as good as it should be.
However, this much rust shouldn't be from just a faulty SS single screw. I also will be very interested to see what is found!
