Default Lug Nuts!!! keeping them loose

Any good ideas on how to keep them from freezing up? I have tried spray grease, and other things trying to keep the net and thread from rusting without slinging grease on the side of the boat or finder. John

John I just put a little grease on the part of the nut that hits the rim. I always check loosen and tighten them twice a year to insure they dont freeze up.. Mark

Use lug nuts that you would use on mag wheels on a truck.They will completely cover the threads.All you have to do is grease the threads when you put them on.It may look a little odd but makes life alot easier.
