bearing grease


Mugsaway

Question

Did a search on bearing grease and what to use on the boat trailer bearings. I noticed that there were more people saying to use a calcium sulfonate grease for the trailer.

Can anyone put in there opinion on this. Am I going too in depth - should I just go an buy a marine grease and call it a day?

Also, I will need to get new seals when I repack the bearings. Where can I buy these? Will auto stores carry these or do I need to go to a marine shop?

Have you looked into Amsoil grease? I was thinking a synthetic grease would work better in a wet environment, but not sure. I bought my bearing seals at Northern.

Marine grease and never any issue. Most part stores should carry the seal. I would take the old one along when you get a new one to make sure you get the correct size.

      Don't take me wrong, I'm not anti-technology.  Battery powdered items will always have their place.  I'm mean you don't want your girl friend or wife in the bedroom playing for their gas powered adult toys!!  That would be a bit loud and smokey!

      That’s right. My 84 year old dad loves his electric chain saw. Light weight and quiet. Besides, at his age he’s not cutting a bunch. Where as myself I want something with more power and heavier duty.  Look at how many people have switched back to gasoline cars after running one in winter if you travel a lot.   As long as my strike master works I’ll keep using gas. Maybe my next will be electric, but who knows,  you can find used gas ones pretty reasonable as others buy electric.
