Re: Deck Organizer Turning Blocks Stiff or Frozen #lagoon400

Suggest start with copious amounts of warm water to dissolve / wash away salt build up inside.

re lubricant, various opinions,

some like WD40 oily things, work really well shorter term, but these can attract further dirt as slightly sticky.

Some prefer silicon based, not oily, but need to use infinitesiliy small amount (using rags to prevent over spray etc etc) as any silicon on a boat seems to spread far and wide for years and makes anything within metres really really slippy.

Some of mine, the aluminium had corroded inside and expanded, so jammed them, initially can clean/scrape, worse case (not likely looking at your photos) replace (mine had corroded so far to bend the plate cheeks.

Some of the sheaves in the deck organizer turning blocks on our Lagoon 400 are very stiff or frozen completely. To fix this problem it looks like I will have to completely remove and disassemble them ¡ª the bolts through the sheaves extend through the deck. Does anyone have any advice on how to fix this problem. To completely remove them do I need to remove the ceiling panels in the saloon?

Thanks
