I have been using a dry lube but the threaded rods always have rust on them. Is there something better to use on them, I am in Texas so high humidity. Thanks Michael
Howdy Hornnumb2. Since we are in the same region, run over to your closest Academy and get a can of CorosionX. This is a marine grade spray that does a wonderful job protecting metal components even in salt water environments. They have two types. The material in the red can has the same consistency as WD-40, but it is far superior and actually has a different purpose. Their other product in the green can is much thicker in consistency and actually adheres to the surface to which it is applied. That is the one I have used on our stabilizers on our 192RBS. Once a year application has stood me in good stead here in the Houston area.
My boat dealer put me on this stuff years ago when we were discussing my salt water fishing. I use the green can on my engine mounts for my 190hp V6 running my Tahoe. The stuff in the red can is great on electronics. Academy's web site should give you more info.
