Grease cartridge choices


Featured Posts

Apologies if this is too basic, but I wanted to ask for any recommendations for grease. I know to use Morris K99 for the stern tube greaser, but when it comes to buying a 400g grease gun cartridge, what is the recommended grease for the rudder (theres a grease nipple on the top of it) and will the same be OK for the universal joint on my prop shaft, or should I get a different type of grease for that?  

 

Tried looking on amazon and there are so many choices it just confused me!!!

 

Thanks

Chris

For the propshaft a general purpose grease for ball races and roller bearings, like Castrol LM, although they now call it High temperature grease. The K99 is probably best for the top rudder bearing, being water repellant.
