How does that hold up in saltwater? Does it dent and bend too easily?

The way to go, unless you can find the same ones cheaper elsewhere.

I'm not sure a pulpit is necessary, but mine has never been a bother. It is
handy when launching and docking. It is an effective bumper; I ran into a
barnacle-encrusted piling pretty hard and hardly scuffed the stainless bow
rail. It's a great place to mount a red-green running light. The pulpit
adds weight forward, which most P15s need, but it adds above-the-deck
weight and windage, which are undesirable. You can stow an anchor on the
pulpit (I don't), and, of course, the primary purpose: it provides security
for someone working or riding on the foredeck.
