Squeeky seats

Post by **Mr.J.** » Sat May 06, 2006 4:16 pm

I have pedestal seats in my boat, they are the kind that sit on poles or whatever they are called.

Well when we swivel in them they squeek. There is a large plastic washer that they sit on.

What can I use to get rid of the squeek? I do not think oil on the plastic is the best idea.

WD40. It won't hurt the plastic.

White Lithium grease. Longer lasting, waterproof.

Still amazed at the use people make of good ole WD40. Just remember it's designed as a water repellent and not a lubricator. Handy to have on cold fall mornings when your motor won't start at the dock!! but as a lubricator it won't last too long. Better to use a small amount white grease.
