DIY Quick Tip: In Harsh Environments or Applications-- Think Marine Grade
Here is another DIY Quick Tip . . . When working on something that will face a harsh environment (like weather or salty sea air) or extreme application; it pays to go marine grade or heavy duty.
In the north we have harsh winters with salted roads. Some of us have coastal access with salt in the air. Others have extreme use such as towing or off roading in warm weather. I have all three and in working on my vehicle, I am using marine grades and extra preventative measures. The extra cost is marginal and well worth the piece of mind. I am going as far as larger parts, protective lubrication, extra wrapping, and rubberized undercoatings.
