Allright all you wise listees! I see a little bit of "marine" buildup on some of my connectors between the laptop and the bridge screen and mouse. Some of these are bendix(?) connectors and I see something on the same type connectors to my ICOM 502. Will smearing these connectors with die electric grease harm the signals travelling through these thin wires? In other words: Will the grease create too much of resistance in the conductors? Hans

I'm not sure about that, but pretty much every electrical connector on my boat gets a shot of Corrosion Block (blue/white spray can) at least annually. Shore power cords and connectors at both ends get it every three months. It's made for electrical connections, and I use it on all mechanical connections, but not inside the electronics.
