You change your oil. You paint the bottom. But deep inside your hull, a clock is ticking on the parts you trust the most.

Most boat owners assume that stainless steel and bronze last forever. But science—and your insurance company—knows the truth. Through processes like "Crevice Corrosion" and "Work Hardening," critical metal components have a fixed expiration date.

They look shiny and new on the outside, right up until the moment they snap.

In this video, we countdown the 10 "Lifetime" Parts that actually expire every 10 to 15 years. From the invisible rot inside your standing rigging to the "pink" decay of bronze seacocks, these are the failures that don't just cost money—they sink boats.
