Is there such a thing for packable bearings? Is one better then the other? Can I use the same grease for bearings for the grease ports on my moter as well? I have one of those hand pump style grease guns btw

I have great luck using yamaha grease…not sure who makes it for them…

Quite a few companies make “marine” grease. I have been using a marine grade grease made by liquid wrench. Happy so far.

This is what I’m using now and it’s great stuff, but always looking for something better.

This is what I have been using. I wonder if I should start using something water proof instead of water resistant. I grease my fittings on everything often.

Probably a lot safer to try to use the best product you can afford and then try your best to keep up with a reasonable maintenance schedule.

The word waterproof is wishful thinking.

until a chemist certifies to me that there’s a difference, I will assume that ‘marine’ grease is a labeling trick to extract a higher price

Peapod - I got a laugh out of your post.

Marine ANYTHING is a license to charge more :smiley:
