[Rhodes22-list] Speaking of motors

Hi All:
     I have a motor related question. Beside WD-40, highly recommended by Elton 
when the boat was delivered, what other lubricant can/should be used on the 
sliding piece of the motor mount. WD-40 washes out rather quickly with the 
first good rain. Is there any recommended grease or other lubricant I can use?

Thank you,

Bruce Chisholm
