Skylark Posted July 11, 2012 Share Waterproof grease is a myth. It contains some calcium soap which emulsifies slilghty...only slightly, less easily than lithium soap. Once you understand bearings and water intrusion, you'll realise that the fancy grease is a foo-fee. Well nothing is perfect and the more water resistance you can get the better. Tell your theory to the boating outboard motor mechanics , they will give you a rather funny look . Actually however little you may say the difference is , it certainly is enough to provide bearings with a very advantageous degree of real world protection from water induced failure that average grease would not. Case in point - boat trailer wheel bearings , see what happens if you don't use water-resistant grease. Try it Edited July 11, 2012 by Skylark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylark Posted July 11, 2012 Share Thanks - ordered some from Motosports in Hillcrest. Was going to go to Perry Yamaha but going to Umhlanga is a schlep during the week. The guy said its about R100, getting the one with the squirt gun and cartridges to get into the hub. The other grease I have is Motorex Bike Grease 2000 - says it's highly water repellent You can also get it from the Boat shop at the bottom of Moore rd in glenwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
