In Response To: Re: corrosion-X (Jerry Gomber)

Indeed I am that. After I started my regular maintaince procedure using CX, began to notice hose clamps loose, guess Nature's Loc-Tite was getting eaten up by the stuff. Blew the hi pressure turbo air output hose off one of the Cummins last summer, for example. That clamp was frozen up tight last time I had checked it, but it was loose as a goose when it blew off.

So I'm now using blue Loc Tite now and then on stuff, especially hose clamps and 1/4" machine screws with lock washers like those that hold the fairing between the engine box and the gunnel. Just can't keep them tight without it since the CX arrived on the scene. On the other hand, have had zero, I mean zero, corrosion problems anywhere on the boat since I began using it on a regular basis. As I may have mentioned before, if I'd had the stuff 40 years ago (and Tef Gel) the amount of time, money and aggrivation I'd have saved would be staggering.
