g The red grease is high pressure grease that is not supposed to wash off parts after continuous exposure to salt water. There is probably a more correct name for the product, but where I go fishing on the Eastern Shore, everyone just calls it red grease. I use it primarily on my prop and...

SkunkBoat: So if I understand you, if I bypass the solenoid, and go right to the hot terminal on the starter, and the engine turns, then there is a problem with the relay? Thank you for answering. Hot Ajax

I have OX-66 Saltwater Series. I don't believe it has a solenoid, but does have a relay. Is there an easy way to test the relay? A shop repaired my starter, and he assures me that the Bendix drive jumps right out there. But he did caution me to check the relay. Any tips on on any fast ways...

Seven years is amazing. Do you keep a charger on it all the time? Whatever you're doing, keep it up.

When reassembling parts, do you coat the threads with red grease, or anti seize compound? Boat used in salt water. Thanks.

Bought a can about 7 years ago, lifted up the "hood" on my OB, and went crazy with the corrosion guard on all the major components that were made of metal. How good is it? I had a problem with my starter and a repair shop took it apart. The shop said the starter looked brand new inside. So...

Kentucky Grady: Yes, It's a wait and see scenario. I took it to his shop, he didn't have time to bench test it at closing time. The problem I was having was that the Bendix drive was not kicking out. It was spinning, and you could hear that, but it wasn't engaging the flywheel. The apparent...

l No warranty with the local rebuilder. Thank you for responding.

I've been buying Yamalube by the case, smoky, but it does the job. Are there any other brands available that you gents like?

Good afternoon: Hope the 2018 Fishing season is good. My starter died, it just spins without engaging the flywheel. I have several options, and I would like to ask you gents your opinions. Most important consideration is reliability and making it back to the marina. OPTION ONE: Rebuild the...

Thanks, Seasick

On the frame there is some hardware that slides up and down the bows. Notice a lot of corrosion between the "sliders" and the bow. Are these things frozen in there for good or are there some penetrating oils that may get through the corroded material? Guessing I'll have to cut them off and...

Fire's out. Found one that works, thanks.

Good afternoon, gents. Who are the internet discounters? Been a while since I've made any significant purchases. Now I'm look for a bimini top storage bag, but I can't remember at the moment who they are. I remember one outfit that has an orange motif on their webpage. Thanks in advance...

To the guys who recommended Reel-X from CorrosionX: bot some. Holy cow, did it free up my reels. I can think of many uses for that stuff now. Thanks.

Ditto on the Pri-G. Leave the same gas in all winter and get great startup in the spring. Not terribly hard to find, but it's worth the effort to get it. And Ring Free to cut down on carbon.

Thanks gents. Much appreciated.

I let time slip away from me and I don't have time mail order a good reel lube. What would you recommend that is EASILY found in chain hardware stores / Lowes / Home Depot / Ace that is a light weight reel lube to get things ready for a trip? The only thing I can think of right now would be...

Doc Stressor: Thank you for that lucid and well written explanation. H. A.

Some bottles say "Marine" and some bottles sold out of an auto parts place don't say "marine". Whats the difference? Do you get additives that attract fish to your boat? Thanks in advance. Hot Ajax
