Bow Rail, 304 or 316

[jpstevens]

Hi all, I'm about to replace a damaged bow rail on my IP32 I have two options: 304$$ or 316$$$ Which to choose. Thanks for your opinions

316L has better anti corrosion properties.

Depends on how much polishing you want to do ,the 304 will discolour quicker than the 316 ,but polishing regularly is the best answer ,304 is slightly stronger than 316 ,slightly that is .⛵️⚓️

316, electro-polished and passivated will be much easier to live with.
