has any one tested 204Cu stainless steel behavior in seawater?

RE: SS 204Cu

SS 204Cu was developed has a cheaper alternative to SS 304 as you can read in this articles and has, more or less, the same corrosion resistance of SS 304. SS 304 is not recommended for service in SeaWater due to the very low corrosion resistance, low pitting and crevice temperature.
