(link) (pic) (Ray Henry, Nimble Kodiak Yawl, Seaweed, NC) The first thing I did was spray paint the steel rim wheels and entire caster. The salt water destroyed the bearings pretty quickly but I kept shooting the grease and things kept turning for about 7 years. Then the steel rims rusted and I have replaced them with some plastic split rims that hopefully will not rust (no bearings). The rest of the caster has held up remarkably well. Stewart Crisler
