Thanks all.
Very helpful. I went to Forespar site. They say to flush the fittings with fresh water after exposure to salt water. They also say lubricant is a bad idea as it may attract dirt, BUT, they do not say how to free a stuck piston.
I found another site which said to use vinegar. Stick the pole end in a pail of vinegar and let it sit over night, then try to work it free. So thats what I will try.
I think the key is to get it working with any kind of solvent/lubricant then rinse the whole thing really well. I will let you know how it worked out.
Thanks again
