What do you guys use to lubricate the sliding window tracks on the pilot house windows?
Thanks
Ben

If you can find it ,a dry spray graphite will work.It won't evaporate or smear like a grease product.

How about a silicon spray, that should work well too

i have also used Sailkote which is a sailors product made by Harken, I race a sailboat too and we use it on the sailtrack and blocks, etc. It is great on zippers and also on the window tracks ,it is liquid as it goes on and then dries. No mess and seems gentle on the window track. Not cheap , surprise!

Re: Pilot house window track lubricant 31 TE
Ok Craig I am gonna take your word on this one and order from Defender tomorrow. Had a 4 day weekend on TOY-RIFIC this past weekend and Erika mentioned more than once the need for me to do something to ease the sliding windows. Hopefully I won't have to ask you for my money back in Essex..JerseyNSC40 wrote:i have also used Sailkote which is a sailors product made by Harken, I race a sailboat too and we use it on the sailtrack and blocks, etc. It is great on zippers and also on the window tracks ,it is liquid as it goes on and then dries.
