My 4 foot open array is coming along nicely. Housing has been cleaned and repainted. The array housing has been polished and re-sealed with new silicone.
My question, the rotating gear for the array is a large plastic toothed gear. Does this require lubrication? If so, what type of grease would be used?

Thanks.

Hammerhead,

The nylon turning gear doesn't need any type of lubrication. However, periodic checks of the gearbox or dome are recommended for any water, dust, or dirt intrusion. Furuno does recommend on replacing the Motor/Assy after 10,000 hours of running time.

Hope this helps..?
