Dialectic grease + Fish Finder

[bruus]

A mechanic mate of mine told me about this grease and recommended I should put it in the connections for me fish finder. He said it was conductive and would protect it from salt water etc. They use it for connections in the cars he works on. Anyway I decided to give it a go on my sounder since it was starting to corrode and had an inconsistent connection. It has worked well for me and I'm not having to unplug and re plug to try get a connection. I found that repco sell it in little sachets for 70cents which I found to be more than enough.

Does anyone else use this stuff and been keeping it a secret? I had been spraying around the connections with inox previously.

Yep I use some kind of grease stuff that we have at work that we sell to Auto Electricians around the country. Not sure what it is called as I am just the dumb warehouse guy but I know the code for it is EGG50 . I have only ever put it on once, over a year ago now. Even with the sounder sitting in the car all day this stuff still doesn't melt. Looks the same as the day I put it on there.

[edit - I think it's Senson Electro-Guard]

I've been thinking about doing this. I read somewhere that
Inox is good but it can make the rubber around the connection brittle over a period of time.
Another product Lanox (i think it's lanolin based)
Is supposedly pretty good as it won't make the rubber brittle but from what i can learn Dielectric Grease
is the bee's knee's.
