Sorry for the hi-jack, It just made me look back into the archives of being a marine electrician.
I also do a lot of electrical work and found that using " Never Seize " on any outdoor electrical wiring connections, pool equipment, boats, autos, heavy trucks and equipment, battery clamps and posts, common and or ground blocks for 110-220 AC volts saves many headaches. And I started using this product back when I was about 23 years old, and I'm still truck'in at 74...
