Thanks for the question Clayton, and definitely go with stainless steel U-bolts over galvanized for saltwater. Stainless steel is going to last longer than galvanized in that environment so it's the better option. Here are the options for stainless steel U-bolts depending on the size you need:
- 3" Long x 3-1/8" Wide: CE Smith U-Bolt - Stainless Steel # CE15502A
- 3" Long x 4-1/8" Wide: CE Smith U-Bolt - Stainless Steel # CE15504A
