You can use them if you get the correct stainles steel bolt and it is used correctly, why do you think trans-atlantic yachts cost so much. It is not the shock that causes the failure it is fatigue caused by cyclic reversal of the stress. Personally i would not use them. If you want corrosion protection have the bolts electrolous nickel plated. This gives an attractive satin finish as a bonus.
