[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 461587, member: 15636"] If it were mine I'd have it apart already and cleaned and lubricated. I bet someone used a grease on it or sprayed a 'protective' anti-corrosion spray on it ... and either of those can gum up and stop a dynamic or moving part from actuating. Some anti-corrosion sprays (like Boeshield T-9) even have a wax formula in their mix, which is good for protection but sucks for lubrication. I find the best lubricant for moving parts in the marine environment is good old 'fogging oil'. Put that oil into a padlock used in the saltwater environment and you'll be able to get that lock open with the key anytime needed! Use other lubes ... and not so much ... [/QUOTE]
