Yamaha Grease

nia573 · October 09, 2012, 10:20:09 PM

Is there anywhere in the uk that I can buy the Yamaha Marine blue grease?? They dont seem to supply it here & the order I put through to boats.net has been refunded as they say they wont ship to the UK - yet other UK members here have had their orders received ok??

Would any members be willing to ship a small cartridge for a small fee?

Thanks
Mike

After several attempts to get direct shipment from overseas and have failed, I've now two tube going to my Vpost forwarding service. Shipping cost is many times the price of the grease, and hopefully they will reach me somehow.
If all goes well, I'm happy to sent you some.

all i have are the big 14 ounce tubes that cost me $8. i can bag them up and ship them anywhere in the world that the post office goes. it's just a matter of getting the right size box. figure shipping is going to be $1 per ounce or more. you would end up paying nearly $25 for this, when any other marine outboard engine grease might perform just as well. the trick is to get a grease intended for marine engines, not fresh water.

the flip side is that the blue yamaha marine grease really is nice stuff to work with.

I found the yamalube at Riva Yamaha on Dixie Hwy. in Pompano Beach, Fl. The price is very proud though, $11.00 + sales tax. It is a motorcycle & boat dealer. They have it available in a 10 oz. sqeeze tube or the 14 oz. tube for the guns. I didn't ask what they would charge for shipping though. Its the one with the orange stripe on the tubes & is marked MARINE GREASE & the grease is blue. I hope that helps anyone in southeast Florida or anywhere else. Rudy

I just ordered a 14 oz. cartridge from Boats.net for $7.47 including shipping.

I checked them 2 days ago & they were sold out.

What happened to your mixture of red Valvoline & p s oil?

Alto Mare · November 11, 2012, 11:10:17 AM

I'll never give that up, it's working great for me. I use the 50/50 mixture of power steering fluid and red valvoline for all of my spinners. Yamaha is for heavier reels. I thought Yamaha turned brown, after further inspection I realized that I never cleaned the old grease all the way on one of my reels.

I only manage to find Quicksilver's marine grease over my side of the pond, its super tacky and smell very strong.

FYI those from my side of the pond.

2 X Yamalube-Marine Grease 14oz = US$15.20
S/H to Vpost USA --------------- = US$17.70
S/H Vpost USA to Singapore------ = US$18.33(S$22.50)

Cost per 14oz canister = US$25.6 .... which is more than 3 times the value to the grease itself ;-(
But then 28oz of grease will last me for years... so while I may sounds a little bit crazy buying them, I'm nothing as compared to those twinkies buyer at ebay lol.

I've looked on line and ordered a tube of Yamalube marine water-resistant grease from a UK supplier - Marinetech-Yamaha - not cheap at £14 including postage, but 400g will go a long way.

Found them via ebay and double-checked that this was the right grease as they sell lots of other Yamaha lubricants.

I hope it is blue when it turns up!

Chris

Update today - the grease has just arrived. Yamalube Lical water resistant for outboards, sterndrives and water vehicles - but it's a boring brown! Is this the right stuff?
