My traveler car is difficult to move. I've got to push it reasonably hard to move it anywhere on the track..sounds dry and sqeaky. I'm about to scrub the track with a toothbrush, then add silicone to lube. So, how easily should the car move?? Should it move freely on it's own? When wind swings the boom..this car should move by itself right??? -jeff |

Free and Smooth. Use Mclube or similiar stuff, a dry lubricant that won't be a magnet for dirt and grit. Your track just needs some love and Mclube is it. |

There should be little or no effort to move the traveler. Your bearing may be shot, these things to wear out every once and a while. If your boat is older and is original then I would look at upgrading to a new one, but only if the McLube does not do the trick!
