I have owned a boat for several years. One of the first things to go bad on all boat cover are the nylon straps getting dry rotted and very brittle. Is there a product that will keep the straps moist? If not I wonder if a naturel oil or Vaseline would work?

Sounds like she is out in the sun? Oil them down then you can eat them after they bake. roflmao

Yes it's always in the sun but covered. I'm suprised there is not already a product for that.
