[Elecraft] Turnbuckle Threads

[Josh Fiden]

I use Permatex anti-seize, same as west marine sells. I’ve only used ss turnbuckles for truss cables & anything I want to look pretty (architectural). Never a problem when threads are coated. Tower guys always galvanized. SS is a PITA with galling. I suppose if you’re in a real corrosive environment it would make sense.

So, what I suggest is that you go on line to West Marine and see what they have and recommend. Nothing is as finicky as the materials in a marine environment. Salt air and water really does a number on boat stuff. Only suggestion is that your stainless be marine grade.
