Ferdinand, You might try a Canadian product I just discovered, which claims to be anticorrosion protectant, lubricant, and penetrant. It's called "Corrosion Block." It's manufactured by Lear Chemical Research Corp. A 4-ounce spray/squirt dispenser sells in marine stores for $6.50 or so USD. I've used it on my bilge pump's electrical connections and battery terminals, cleaned a rusty knife with it, and smeared some on the ferrule of my take-apart paddle to stem the abrasion that eventually makes the paddle connection loose. The label says it contains mineral oil and petroleum distillates -- don't know how it would affect some of the hull components you mention, but it'll be effective on those brass connectors. I don't know whether they market the product in Europe, but here's how to contact them: Lear Chemical Research Corp, Mississaugua, Ontario L4Y 3W3 (Cananda) email: sales_at_learchem.com web page: http://www.learchem.com/ (The usual disclaimer: I have no connection with the company).
