Probably available at a Yamaha dealer but any grease labeled "MARINE" will work for fresh or saltwater. Some are thicker then others, just pick the one you like. If it is to thick just mix a small amount of reel oil in it to get the consistincey you want.         Rudy

I've been using Penn blue grease and haven't been able to find yamaha grease in my area. It's it that much better? Should I be on a quest to find it?
I only service my own reels and a 2 oz jar of blue grease last's me for months.

Sheridan, you're fine with Penn Blue. I use Yamaha Marine because it's cheaper in bulk. For the little you use ease of acquisition is more important.

Alan swears by the Yamaha, but I'm still going through my stock of Penn blue and it works well. I have no plans to stop using it until I have ran out and even then I'll have to check availability.

I've been using Mercury Quicksilver 2-4-C for everything including drags (it's got Teflon in it). For very small spinners I add a couple of drops of oil to thin it.

saving my last oz. of Shimano grease for drags
switched to Penn Blue for gears & like it better
IMO, you don't need heavy marine grease for F/W

If your in a very cold area, you may be best with TSI oils or synthetic oils, as grease, may be to thick, cheers Don.
