the tipical SS hose clamp is good for fresh water but will still rust in salt water as they have to use a different ss aloy to keep it maluable so it doesn't get brittle and brake from bending around stuff. I would stick with plastic if you can.
now if this clamp is outside the tank and not submerged then goahead and get a SS hose clamp from canadian tire. Steve

Steve is right. Pretty much any SS item will rust with direct exposure to salt water - taking oxygen out of the water in the process. IMO it should only be used for a quick fix.
