[PSUBS-MAILIST] 12v solenoid vent valves in sea water

[Brian Hughes via Personal_Submersibles]

Hmmm ...

Maybe a halfway solution is to make them easily removable and rinse them in fresh water like dive gear. If the spring is stainless, dissolving the salts away might keep the corrosion somewhat at bay, then over the Winter disassemble and dip the metal parts in mild hydrochloric acid and relube. Maybe add in pop the valves and hit the diaphragms with silicon spray between dive trips. Hmm ....
