TACO Handy Tips: Polish your tube & fittings before you install them for added corrosion protection. Water can collect between the tube and fittings and hold in moisture, salt and other residue.
TACO Handy Tips: Apply silicone sealant or 3M 5200 to the screw threads when you're securing fittings to the deck of the boat. This will help seal the holes. Once all the tubing and fittings have been installed, back out the set screws and apply Loc-Tite to all set screws and re-tighten to prevent them from loosening in rough waters.
