[quote=MN3][quote]I've occasionally considered sealing the exposed areas of the swaged fittings with silicone or epoxy or using adhesive-lined heat shrink tubing over the fitting to prevent moisture from getting inside and causing corrosion.[/quote]
Rubaweld (rigging tape) claims to be good for this
however - i am not certain it would help. Seems that most of the hardware failures i see are in sealed areas (bow and side stay tangs that are sealed in deck glue, hobie stay anchors that seem to break off in spots where there is no o2, etc).
Maybe i will do one side and see which breaks first[/quote]
