I didn't use a emptied cardboard tube either.
Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

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.
:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

yeah, the new stuff they have is a lighter color blue.  i dunno.  i'm going use it just like i would the darker colored stuff.  i don't think it will make a difference.  i think we just have to trust that the engineers at yamaha are not out to screw us over.   ;D

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

this grease is great,  Thanks to Alan. I use it on any inside surface of any reel.

Check out boats.net.  I bought the 14oz tube for ~$7 shipped.  I think thats fairly cheap

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.

Why not check out some marine supply store over your side of the pond.

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
