Calypso's SS strut has been in salt water for many year without corrosion issues. We have been coating it with zinc paint for the last ten years to reduce exposure and barnacle growth.
The existing SS strut is this 43's 2nd. I don't know what happened to the first. Both have been through bolted with backing plates.

The problem with stainless and water is in a situation where the water is not aerated. There is enough oxygen present in seawater for stainless.
