Wasn't someone saying you could get this stuff at fry's or an auto parts store?  I just got a new FF and would like to get a little more life out of my connectors than the last one...

I am pretty sure I saw some on my last trip to the depot, over near the wire nuts.

Pep Boys in San Leandro has it in a spray can... at least the last time I checked.  Don't bother calling and asking the sales people because I doubt they even know that they have it in stock.

Guess I'll check when I'm at the depot tonight then.  Looks like this weekend the ocean is going on a bender, so no urgency on it.   :smt003

I have some motorcraft caliper grease that is dielectric.  I just found it lying around our shop.  I splooge some all over the connectors every time I go out and then after I get off the water then work it on the connecters real good.  The only bad thing I have found is that sand and dirt really sticks to the grease.

OSH and a local lighting store both have "Light Bulb Grease" in little tubes for a few bucks.  Works fine.
