Not a huge deal because two people can zap a whole cabin quickly...one subtracts while the other adds and you vacuum up the debris. But the salt air comes into it. I am investigating various strategies, from conformal spray on circuit boards and contacts to packing seldom-used goods in silica-gelpacked boxes. Other things will get a light coating of lithium grease or other barrier coat, and/or a pass with an emory board to remove surface crust.Rhyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00598445145507204424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6458075112175110787.post-45548434068900959612011-04-10T16:36:49.832-04:002011-04-10T16:36:49.832-04:00All unprotected steel or iron will rust quickly on...All unprotected steel or iron will rust quickly on an ocean-going boat. Steel AA or AAA cells and the steel contacts in small battery operated devices, AC receptacles, Ethernet and USB connectors, tools and brass colored decorative wood screws will corrode in less than a year. Like plumbing....electronics fail at the interfaces. Multiple connections on Hub style networks will be troublesome. Even while inside the boat protected from the weather, the salt air will getcha!Silverheels IIInoreply@blogger.com
