2”Fuel FillsStern Lights 2”Fuel FillsStern Lights Inthe early 1960's,a new alloy appeared.First used on large racing sailboats,the new material'shigh strength to weight ratio coupled with superb corrosion resistance made it an attractive alloy for use on boats.The new alloy was trademarked with the name Marinium® shortly after its introduction tothe marine market and quickly evolved into a popular line ofpower boat deck hardware.The line included cleats,chocks,hinges,deck fills,rod holders and navigation lights.For many years Marinium® was the choice material for numerous quality boat builders.But withthe technology that existed in the 1970’s and 1980’s,Marinium® proved to be a difficult alloy to manufacture.Internal rejection rates were high.Attempts to reduce costs only compounded the rework problem.Eventually,in the early 1990’s,production ofMarinium® marine hardware and lights ended.The industry lost access to perhaps the greatest marine alloy ever…until now!Using modern technology and casting techniques unavailable to manufacturers decades ago,Marinium® has finally been perfected.The high strength to weight ratios and unparalleled corrosionresistancesought afterfor decades by quality builders is again available,this time with Perko® reliability and quality.
