[quote=jalex]Since you are in Sarasota I assume you are mostly saltwater sailing which makes a big difference. They are often sold coated but not difficult to remove the coating or I am sure Murrays would sell you a set uncoated. I replace every other year, but I do on the beach storage where I rarely can rinse the rigging and I sail year-round. I agree a little surface rust is not a concern, but sounds like you are due for a replacement just from age[/quote]
