</font><div><font size="3">We used them a lot. They work fine as long as the spring tension is set correctly. Be careful rinsing them off, as the o-rings will retain water and can cause case and shaft corrosion. That's probably more a salt water issue than fresh, but oxygen starvation will make SS rust, too.</font></div>
