for the 5000 models the best thing you can do w/ a new pair is take off every nut before you even put them in saltwater. then, put some locktite anti-seize on the threads and put the nuts back on and tight! from the factory, the nuts are not tight and they always get salt under/inside them. after each trip wash the bottoms off as well as you can and maybe every once in a while spray w/ wd-40 or 3-in-1 oil. depending on how hard you fish you may only get a few months to 2 years out of the nuts. after a few years, the threads rust and it's time to either make a ss bolt pair as DZ talked about or buy new again.
