Stearing linkage grease?

#1 Post by CZSteve » Sat Jun 15, 2013 10:15 am

We have a 1998 Force 90 2-stroke outboard with a mechanical steering system.
What's an acceptable grease to use for the Zerk fitting for the shaft on the outboard end? OK to use the marine bearing grease I have in my gun?

Thanks,
Steve

That's what I've always used.

Sure any water rejection grease works.
