	Does anybody know how chrome plated doorknobs are affected by exposure to a marine environment? (i.e installed on yacht doors) Is there some type of coating that can be used to prevent or retard the finish from corroding? any ideas?

	NO, best use stainless steel which can be highly polished, Chrome will always give you problems over time

	DONT use chrome unless you want to replace it frequently Stainless or Marine Grade aluminim are best __________________ "Multa ferunt anni venientes commoda secum, Multa recedente adimiunt". (The years as they come bring many agreeable things with them; As they go they take many away).

	copper or brass is even better, the chlorine in sea water tends to attack chromium __________________ chtank
