[PUP] Corrosion prevention

[Keith]

Most all of my spares are in their OEM packaging. I never sprayed, coated, 
vacuum bagged (except for flares and safety equipment) or did anything else 
to them. Most stuff for boats is corrosion resistant on it's own. What are 
you packing that is so sensitive to salt air and corrosion? Maybe you've got 
the wrong stuff. If it's going to corrode while waiting to be used, it's 
probably not going to last long in use, either.
