Sea water and aluminium split paddles don't mix either!

Proudly Modest was an error. This is Alex McGruer.

The biners have been replaced witrh stainless ones and have had lots of
exposure to the sea and neglect. They seem fine.

On another news group I was told about Fluid Film , a spray lubricant.
I had some for work and tested it against Latex for signs of
deterioration. It did not hurt the latex.
If this can be used once or twice a year and the Aluminum Biners are
fine I may be able to reuse the biners . The stainles ones will be
staying on the boat but I am glad there is a solution that does not
ruin fabrics and latex.

Hope this helps some one.
