I was wondering about di-electric grease for mag plates. I’ve used it on battery post before
attaching the terminals, flashlight switches, and multiply other uses.
When I read up on said grease in the past, I was confused whether or
not it was “conductive…..then again, if not, how does it work so good?

Has anyone tried dry graphite lube for the mag plate? I use OMC Triple Guard Grease on my OMCs and have had zero issues with grounding through the lube. If continuity proved to be a problem, maybe this would be a solution. Graphite is mostly carbon and carbon is a fair conductor. I have never tried it, but I wondered if anyone else has.
