[C320-list] MARELON SEACOCK LUBRICATION

[Jeff Hare]

I have always used Lanocote. Forespar also lists this as the lube for Marelon valves. I called Forespar tech support last spring to ask about changing the configuration of the valves in the head and asked this question about lube. They said a little Lanocote but mostly just to use them regularly. 

I just use a glue brush with the thruhull closed and work it slowly for a few minutes. The more you use them the better they work. 

If you warm up the lanocote it will cover well, then thickens up and doesn't wash out easily.

Anyone recommend a lubricant for these thruhulls? Mine are getting a bit stiff.
