[quote=samc99us]Soak overnight with 2-3 drops of dish detergent. Then use McLube OneDrop. A tube has lasted me several years and I've used it on the fleets boats (I know, sharing lube is not safe). I do this about once every 3 months if racing in saltwater, recreational you can get by with longer intervals (6 months-1 year). Really the key is letting the ratchets operate properly.
Adding McLube Sailcoat to bearings is a bad idea. The lubricant will interact with the harken bearing grease and cause the bearings to seize in one spot. That is bad as it creates a wear point in your bearings.[/quote]
