Marine Grease?

bigdog · 04-03-2020, 10:30 AM

I need to grease both my trailer hubs, and the grease fittings on my Outdrive, can I use the same type grease for both ?

Now you're going to start trouble! I am on a ton of FB antique motorcycle pages and whenever oil comes up... wow opinions vary!

I like using Merc 2-4-C on boat stuff, but if I had to I would squirt in some good high temp wheel bearing grease. I use the premise that I would rather have the wrong oil, than no oil!

Edit note- the 2-4-C can be used in your wheel bearings.

Yes, use a good quality MARINE grease.

Here’s what I use in all my trailers.... https://www.lowes.com/pd/Lucas-Oil-P...rease/50353742

I'm assuming that this Lucas grease can be used on the Outdrive Zerk fittings, as well as the prop spline ?

Thanks Dan !

Anything that goes under water needs marine grease. But if you're buying a tube of marine grease you might as well use it everywhere on a boat, even above the water line.

For the outdrive it is always best to refer to your manual. 2-4-C as mentioned is very good. I have a Volvo Penta with an exterior fitting that goes right into the gimbal bearing. Very nice feature.
