Title: Centerpin maintenance
Post by: JL on November 13, 2005, 03:58:52 PM

Hey guys,

Just wondering what you guys do to maintain the pin. I clean mine most trips and lube it occasionally. Also what kinda lube you use on the bushings?

Wash it with soap and water after every trip. I use Super lube.

Thanks guys. Yeah i use superlube as well. Never tried the ATF tho...might try it. Was unsure if the superlube would slow the spin.
