Default Which is better?

Brass or stainless for the raw water intake shut off valves?

I'm replacing mine and they are brass, but wondering if stainless wouldn't be better. The boat is used in salt water.

What do you guys prefer and why?

Thanks!

Bronze is your best material between all.

Okay so I guess I meant bronze instead of brass

So bronze over stainless, makes sense, that's what's in there now. Was just curious why they offer stainless too...

Thanks US1 Fountain!
