Due to age, weight, knees on gravel, talon etc., I am installing one and was wondering what would be the best spray, grease, silicone or what to keep it lubricated without damaging the O-ring. RANGER owners, were you given any instructions? Box says keep clean and lubricate as needed. Thanks Jim
I use automotive dielectric grease on mine.
die makers grease works best for me.
Good old petroleum jelly ( vaseline).
I use mercury grease on mine...greatest thing since sliced bread. Just make sure it "clicks...snaps" when you twist the actuator. It will leak if not fully seated.
I use a synthetic grease on mine. No problems for three years.
Plumber's waterproof grease
Syl-Glyde from napa
Dielectric grease works great on my 520c

I read some where not to trailer the boat with the plug out, it will collect debris on the o-ring from the road.
Many states now require you to trailer with the plug out to prevent spread of AIS.Originally Posted by oldgoat188
I've trailered with the plug out for 27 years without any problem.
Do you have a flow-rite plug with a o ring? I was talking about that particular style plug not a solid rubber or screw in type.
Threaded plug with an o ring. Not the flow rite. I still don't see how road debris will get into the drain while trailering?
I have got debris in the threads from washing the boat and dirt from the carpet ends up in the threads of the drain hole.
I'm just passing on what I had read. I'm assuming that the debris gets on the o ring and causes it not to seal tight
