Stainless steel doesn't rust.

That would depend on the quality of the stainless. There are dozens if
not
hundreds of alloys called stainless steel. Leave many of them submerged
for
an extended period and the iron will shown signs of oxidation (rust).
Food
grade stainless used in meat tables and prep sinks are amoung the better
ones, but I risk you ire by pointing out that stainless steel should
probably be called high chromium alloy oxidation resistant steel.


How long before my stainless steel prop starts to show signs of rust?


Gee... I dunno. Lets pitch it in the river and come back and check it
eveyr spring.

My post was making fun of the spam.


I figured that, but come on. Its fun to take a poke at you. So you fish
any weightless plastics lately. LOL.

Actually stainless underwater is not much better than steel. You need the
oxygen of air to react with the chrome in the stainless to build the oxide
barrier.
