My Scotty plug ins always seem to corrode I was wondering what others do to prevent this?
I was thinking some dielectric grease might help?
Thanks
Mike
You did not say what style plug you have. The new style are much better and corrode less. It is an easy upgrade if you have old style plugs found on older riggers.
Any of the scotty plugs corrode after a couple seasons, and theyre approx 40$ each. I refuse to pay that so I use spade connectors with grease. When they corrode, snip em' off and put new ones on. Cheap. And, when youre in a 'panic' situation and you need it to come up right now, theres no wiggling the plug to get it to work.
mine are upside down up under the gunnels, light dielectric grease, striped and cleaned once a year. Seems to work OK, 4 oldstyle plugs in 7 years. heavy gauge wire feeding them, not sure if that is adding to the life.
An electrician turned me on to No-oxid grease, although there are other conductive greases.
