Hi, I took my trampoline off to install new hiking straps and it was a little tough to get out of the sidebar tracks. Before I put it back on the boat, I was wondering if I should lubricate the tracks to make it slide in easier?
The trampoline is orange vinyl, (Hobie)
1. I thought about using liquid dishsoap, ( so it could be washed out).
2. I also have some "Superlube Synthetic Lubricant" spray, which I thought about using. (I bought it for my mast track, but haven't used it yet, has anyone used this?), The back of the can says it can be used for sail tracks.
3. I also have some "Fastrac Sail Trac Lubricant", but
I have found it is messy to use.
If anyone has an idea which of these three would work better, please let me know. If anyone has any other ideas that would be nice too.
I really enjoy this site and have learned a lot from it. I have only been sailing my H16 for three years now. I learned to sail about 7 years ago on a Ventura 222, but my Hobie is a lot more fun, and faster!
Thanks for any suggestions you have!!
