Title: Generic green marine grease
Post by: orsteelheader on September 04, 2009, 11:34:07 PM
Hi Allan,
I have a mini grease gun that takes 3 oz cartridges. I have been unable to find the Yamaha grease you recommend in this size. I did find a green marine grease in these cartridges and have used it for a while. What I've found is that the grease seems to be melting in the grease gun and leaking onto my table!

Should a grease designed for marine applications slowly melt like this? It isn't exactly burning hot in Oregon these days. Are you aware of a source for 3 oz cartidges of the Yamaha grease?

Thanks,
Jay
