    Should brake caliper clips be lubricated on boat trailer disc brakes?

    On my vehicles I use copper anti-sieze to lubricate the clips. I figured that would be a bad thing on boat trailer brakes that get immersed in water, maybe causing corrosion with dissimilar metals when introducing the copper.

    Is there a standard recommendation whether or not to lubricate the clips sliding freely, and if so what lubricant should be used?

    I can't believe an hour of googling this topic didn't turn up anything of value.

    Synthetic brake grease should be used on slider pins and clips. Available at any auto parts store.
