Some of the screws for the engine are being rusted and need replacement. Should I use S/S screw or Tin coated Iron screw for replacement ?

Tin Iron screw seems would rust soon and need replacement again shortly.
S/S screw seems last longer but I worry that it will end up corrode the engine body instead.

Appreciate your helpful ideas.
 
Replace with proper Yanmar screws as they have an inbuilt washer. Unlikely the corrosion has affected the screw itself - it is the heads that suffer. I gave my replacement ones an extra spray of Yanmar grey paint.
