I'm trying to do all that maintenance you do while you're on the hard.
Calder says that you need to lubricate ball valves once a year, but he
doesn't suggest what to use. What the heck do you lube them with?
Silicone? WD-40? I already did the rubber plug types with silicone
grease, but am clueless as to what to use on the ball valves on the
thru-hulls.
