: However right next to the PVC electrical conduit are pieces of conduit made
: of galvanize steel. These are much less flexible and about the same weight
: and price. $2.00 per 10 foot section. I would like to know if anyone has
: any experience or opinion on the suitability of gavalnized steel
: electrical conduit.

I have no experience with the galvanized conduit in this application, but it will rust. The galvanizing is sufficient to keep it from rusting in your house, but it is not sufficient to protect it in a saltwater environment.

I would also think it would be too stiff.
