Once upon a time ago:-*, just about every Outboard Mech had a spray bottle of Inox hanging out of their back pocket and would give the outboard an ample spray of this product and the outboard would look as if it had been brought back to life, all nice n shiney etc.
I for one would purchase it by the four litre and as soon as i came back from a fishing trip or whenever i decided to give me old faithfull a run i would spray it down with Inox and wipe it all over with a clean cloth and make it look all nice n shiney..
And never had any probs with my old faithfull from using it. kept corrosion at bay and never had a prob with it damaging any wiring etc.
Recently it has been brought to my attention it is no longer wise to use this product for fear of it damaging electrical wiring etc !!, which was news to me but heads up with the advice and plan to discard it from my shed.
Tis said that lanotech / lanolin oil should be used in its place and supposed ta be a better product???...
Anyone had probs with this product????Thought please...

I use it on the underbody of my 4x4 to help keep the rust at bay from beach use, i reapply after each weekend/week of beach use, seems ok for that. Use a bit on the boat trailer as well although a fair bit of info against using stuff like this on Gal trailers.

G'day

I really like the corrosion guard by quicksilver (mercury). It leaves a slightly tacky clearcoat at first that kind of hardens, leaving a non tacky clearcoat. Safe for and designed for powerheads etc.

A product by CRC called soft seal. When I lived in weipa the pro fishermen would pop the cowl of a new motor give it thourough spray then when the motor was flogged out and ready for resale clean it with degreaser and she looked nearly new. I use lanoline gp spray it is nonconductive doesn, t affect rubber seals and is great anticorrosion properties. It can be a bit of a dust magnet but.

Hey Volvo i use a product called Aquablock made by Chemsearch they make some very good products. But they are quite expensive. As for the Lanolin products i use them on my Boat Trailer and also the Chassis of the Car, another very good product.

Old man has used Inox on his 1998 outboard and trailer since new with no ill effects, the manufacturer warns inox "may" affect natural rubber but I don't know how much natural rubber is still used in outboard plumbing? I've heard the same regarding wiring insulation going hard but after a number of years it goes hard anyway so may just be age to blame not the inox.

I will take it off your hands free of charge if you are going to dump it.. save you paying disposal fees ;)

Any one tried Liquid Lanolin by Lanotech (Super Cheap). I use it on my island pushbike. No significant rust, sand doesn't stick to the chain, lubrication seems pretty good (no squeaks or lockups). Might be worth a shot.

I have been using Lanolin grease as a corrosion preventative (and general grease) and are very happy with it.
Have also shown I to at least one ally boat manufacturer who have been using it for several tears successfully.

But we are not spraying outboards.
Still very interested in other suggestions please.

What do you use Garry? I have found lanox sticky and been using inox, but happy to change.

I mostly use inox for spraying my reels after rinsing.

Have you tried using it to keep the walls of water away. The top of the bimini might be a good place to start with you.
