Metal welded on ship deck-corrosion problem [New York] 

+++++

We have a stainless steel mount for supporting our telecommunication system placed on several ships. The mount is welded to the ship deck but I think it might cause corrosion problems later on beacuse of the way it is welded. Currently I can see pinholes at many places in the welding plus a lot of welding is splattered around, stitch welding done for the side brackets etc.....all these things make me have butterflies in my stomach.

Does any one have any comments as in what type of welding should be used, is it just the poor welding wich is the source of the problem or could there be other erasons too......I would appreciate any comments you have!

Thanks,
