All my gear 'lives' in Pelican cases, and has done so for several years. I have not noticed any problems with lubricants or films.

I would say in your circumstances this is definitely the way to go to protect your gear.

I can keep equipment protected when not in use by using a water tight box with silica gel. However would those conditions be harmful to the lubrication used on the internal mechanisms? What about the film? Will the dry conditions in the box have an adverse effect on the film even keeping the box in the coolest part of the boat? Will it become brittle if left sealed up for weeks?
