I found a great way to store the yamaha marine grease. It is a small plastic thermos that i picked up a wallmart for around 3 dollars if i am not mistaking. It has a screw on lid. I just use a paint brush like most people to apply the grease. (l need to find a grease gun). By the way I love the grease more and more every time I apply it.

Try calling Windward Marine on Oahu. They should have some since they are Hawaii's authorized Yamaha dealer.

If you want it tackier, I'd recommend the Evinrude's Triple Guard and add CorrosionX to thin out to the consistency you need.

Hello Back in the days before grease cartridges we just stuffed the end of the grease gun into the five gallon pail of grease (pump head removed of course) and pulled back the piston locked it and screwed the head back on.
An open 14 oz. tube can be packed into the 3 oz. gun with a small spatula. As the tube is emptied the excess cardboard can be cut of with a razor knife.

Brian, try Windward Marine. They are an authorized Yamaha dealer on Oahu. If not, let me know. I could swing by our local Yamaha dealer to pick some up. Bryan
