water repellant spray

[dkm]

Getting ready for winter and want to protect electrical stuff.
I know VP will charge me a fortune for something the same as WD40. Is it best to use WD40 or a silicon spray?
Also, is it OK to squirt the stuff behing switchgear at the helm?

WD40 is fine, or, I use 'Corrosion Guard' made my Mercury Marine - available from most chandlers or Mercruiser dealers
I use mine behind the helm of my flybridge - seems to work fine.

This is by far the best preventative spray I have found...

Corrosion Block!

It can be used on electrics and unlike WD40 which has it's uses, it wont dry out.

Not cheap but the best!

PS....... no affiliation with the company just a very satisfied user. It can be purchased at many good swindlers these days.
