I wish I had gone stainless in the first place, but it was years ago and I didn't know any better. It is amazing how a chain can be full size up top and paper thin at the bottom. There is an example of this on the wall at the Moorings Bureau at the MP building in Belmont.
Yes, use stainless chain and stainless shackles that are underwater.
