Re: KISS BOV - Storage Question

I had assumed that I could service this on an 'on condition' basis, or more likely, once a year. Does it really require more regular servicing?
I give it a quick non-stripped lube after each wash-down, only strip it down at the start and end of a season. I take the SNOG valve apart more often but thats because there is no way of sealing it effectively and its gets all soggy during boat rides... maybe I need a bung as you mentioned to block it up?
