I have never understood how you can grease an electrical connection and have it conduct. But it does. I guess contact pressure at the microscopic level extrudes the grease.

Being in a coastal zone, we often get salt-infused rain/air during storms. Anything metal will be affected. DC4 is a good choice, and is practically mandatory on any of our installations that are within 2 or 3 miles from the shore.
