    Corrosion Inhibator

    Just done a basic wiring on my tinny (4.2 Stacer), for a sounder and gps

    They terminate into blue seas 4 fuse st blade battery terminal mount fuse block and neg bus bar. They sit inside a battery box.

    What would I be better off using to coat the connections, vaseline or a lanolin based spray like lanox mx4


    Cheers

    Di electric grease

    Dielectric grease is for high voltage stuff, dont waste your money. Vasoline or lanox is fine. My preference is vasoline as its last longer, but lanox flows easier. Your call.

    Lanolin has, iirc, a 70 kV dielectric rating. This makes it just about perfect for electrical connection corrosion protection. it's only disadvantage is it melts like butter, which "proper" dielectric grease doesn't tend to do.

    I'll use both some vas on some of the connections and some Inox mx4 on the stuff that I can't get the vas into, thanks for the info

    One would hope the fuses blow before the terminals get hot enough to melt lanolin.
