Distributor cap terminals. Grease or no grease? 7 years 10 months ago #133550

Smells like cosmoline. I only run on a fresh water lake and store the boat inside. Should I re-grease the connections or leave it dry? Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

I may pull it back down in a few months and see if there is any corrosion. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.
