Hi. I have a hobie getaway and the mast has a coupling on the bottom of it that sits on a plastic ball attached to the boat. Lately it has been squeaking alot with every little mast rotation in addition to the ball getting some small grooves on it. Can I just use a waterprof silicon from the local hardware store to keep it lubricated? any other methods/ideas? <br> <br>thanks,<br><br>Ssyba <br>'01 Hobie Getaway
