[TowerTalk] Trailer Hitch Electrical Connectors for RotatorCable

[Don]

For those of you with access to marine supply houses you also might consider 
CorrosionBlock, a product widely used for electrical connections by the 
fishing, crab and pleasure boat vessels here on the OR coast.  I have been 
using the compound since it came recommended to me by the local marine 
supply house at the Port of Newport in OR. I use the compound that comes in 
a squeeze tube on all of my electrical connections, including the 8 pin 
trailer connectors for the rotator, the coax connectors, and the surfaces of 
the beam elements where they slide together.  I also use it on the threads 
of all of SS hardware (who said SS will not corrode some or seize!!!!!!) The 
air here on the salt water with incoming westerly winds is tough on 
anything. This compound has held up well over the 13 years I've had antennas 
up. Because of the constant winter rains and winds I was particularly also 
interested in it not washing out. CorrosionBlock is made by Lear Chemical 
(I've no interest in the company). It has no metals and is neutral to 
electrical and electronic applications I've used it for.

Pet shops sell RTV for aquariums which is safe for fish and not
corrosive. Good stuff.
