Off the top of my head I can think of W/C parts including the cleats, hawse pipes, bow lights, and parts of the stern and mast head light mounting hardware. Other hardware on board is made of chrome plated bronze (rail bases) and stainless steel (rails, fasteners, bow/stern eyes, etc.) The flush mounted rod holders were made be Lee's and are chrome plated bronze with stainless steel tubes, not aluminum.

I saw Lees and then the Wilcox.Crittenden names and was concerned. But no llonger since its what the boat came with. Thanks.
