When you stick stainless in salt water you rapidly discover there more to stainless steel than just the word. Salt water can rapidly corrode the cheaper grades of stainless steel. A quick check with google says if your stainless steel is magnetic, it's probably 304 grade and is not suitable for use in salt water environments. Another gotcha is don't mix stainless steel fixings with aluminum. The dissimilar metals will start to galvanic corrode the moment it gets an electrolyte on it - i.e. salt water. Nasty stuff salt water, wrecks all sorts of things.

Seaworthy 316 is practically non-magnetic, 304 a little magnetic. If you weld or bend non-magnetic stainless steel, it will return its properties a bit to the steel side, and it can become magnetic (and corrode). I suggest NOT to install any magnetic carpets. When the diesel is out and the electric motor is installed, there will be no more oil and grease. And a lot more space (unless you fill up the space with batteries), so it is easy and dirt free to pick up any lost screw or nut. Furthermore, they do not help you, if you drop a stainless steel fastener anyway.
