I just accept assembling & dissembling & rinsing with a container of freshwater on each session. I do leave the mast & plate together for anything up to 2 months but I ensure I loosen the bolts before packing it away in a long bag. Re grease all bolts about every 1 to 2 months. The white lithium grease doesn't go black like other oil sprays. Hasn't failed yet.

Just wondering if the Permatex goes black due to the graphite ingredient.
Other than that sounds great for all saltwater fixtures.

Just wash your foil well weekly. No additives, just good maintenance.

I love not worrying about bolts coming loose, and always being able to undo them. I wash my foils minimum once a week or every 3rd day from riding. And followed this process for over 3 years now with more than 12 foils. I have had more fails with greases and anti-sieze then without.

Some say it's a pain in the arse, but I love it when I go to a location and have no issues with my gear.

Ride safe,
