[Rhodes22-list] Speaking of motors

[Eaton, Gil]

	During the winter, I experimented with a few lubricants (silicone,
silicone grease, etc.).  The best one so far has been Boeshield T-9, but I'm
not sure how long it will last.  I've used it for Bicycles and Folding
Kayaks.
	Good Luck,
	gil

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
