  • best grease for outer bearings

    What kind of grease works best to seal the bearings and keep the water out? And hoe often do you grease them? I was looking at the waterproof amsoil grease but I want your guys' opionions first

    I use marine grade grease every 10 hours.

      I was told Marine grease for outboard motors was very good due to being water resistant. Its all I ever used on our Avenger bearings.

            I've been using lucas red and tacky for about 4 yrs now and have notice a significant increase in bearing life. I grease my about every 10 hrs.

              hi ,
              lithium /calcium combination grease
              [Donnot use lithium or either calcium individually ,both are below average when done this way ]
              This grease can be a little hard to find
              Shell S2 v220AC
              The A is for Aquius [water operation suitable ]

              The other grease is alluminum complex grease ,far better than lithium
              [purge the old grease b4 use or flush with new grease ]
              Found in some marine greases
              marine STA lube , crc marine grease water wash out less than 5 %

              Dupont marine grease with Teflon water washout less than 1%

              OMega underwater grease used in industry only apparently very very good but very expensive no tech info
