- Lubricating Your Blocks and Cars When Preparing Your Boat for Sailing (T011)
Hello everyone, and welcome to another SailHero tutorial!
In this video, I’m going to show you how to maintain and lubricate your deck hardware when getting your boat ready for sailing.
Several components on board require regular lubrication, including ball-bearing blocks, cam cleat springs, winches, and other moving parts such as genoa cars.
Regular lubrication helps keep these components working smoothly, reduces friction and wear, and can significantly extend their service life.
Equipment required
Suitable marine lubricant
Cloth
Toothbrush
