bearing grease

[ozzmonaut]

I use a green marine grease. No issues for the past 10 years. I had the same problem reported by all who used white lithium. It apparently, with age, becomes candle wax? The stuff I have removed had literally gotten that hard. You could pinch a clump and it would break rather than squishing down.
