[QUOTE="TNtroller, post: 277753, member: 4251"] You don't say whether its salt water or fresh water. Salt water will corrode/rust metal quicker than fresh water, but suggest you use some WD40, or something similar on your locks and lock pins on a regular basis, especially if you store your boat outside in the elements. Rain will soak in, and then the rust starts. I use some liquid graphite in my locks when I notice them starting to stick, etc., supposedly it does not attract/hold road grime, etc. like others will. Some Teflon sprays may help as well, but start using some type of protectant with the new locks/pins asap to prevent the rust from starting. [/QUOTE]
