Percussive maintenance can help sometimes. It's not a permanent fix but you can't always do the right fix in the middle of the ocean. Things it can help with: dislodging debris in mechanical components, reseating electrical connections that are corroding, and making yourself feel better.

To be fair, you may not always want a permanent fix for everything. Mostly because the most permanent solution will always be a temporary one. :v
