Good find Dom, but it's a shame that they're asking $15 for shipping one. Hey maybe we can get 100 guys to purchase one each,  this way it will only cost us about $1.60 .

I bought some other stuff from them and 3 empty cartridges... the shipping was still $15.  It's a bit steep if you're just ordering the cartridges, but if you need something else it softens the blow.

Hi guys,
Take a look at West Marine wheel bearing trailer grease RED. Comes in 3 oz. "superior rust and corrosion protection from salt water, salt, chemicals", "special water insoluble formula", rec. for corrosive marine applications - bearings, hinges, pins, etc". Would this be suitable? Available most every where in US and cheap.

probably......   there are hundreds of grease formulations out there, all claiming to be good for this or that.  with no one willing to give out the formulations or clearly identify why their product is better than another, there will never be a way to substantiate a claim.  give it a try and let us know!
