TUBE OF MARINE FAT 400gr

Function and technical context

High consistency marine grease is a lubricant for specific use in nautical environments, formulated to protect the grease points of outboard and inboard engines and propulsion systems against corrosion caused by salt water and constant humidity. It is applied to bearings, steering ball joints, trim shafts, rudder pins, steering gear joints and transmission couplings, acting as a sealing barrier that prevents the entry of water and prevents metal oxidation. Its regular use at these critical points guarantees the correct mechanical functioning of the steering and propulsion systems, preventing the seizure of moving parts that could lead to loss of control of the boat or costly disassembly interventions.

When to replace this part?

The most common indicators that grease points need a new application of marine grease are the appearance of squeaking or resistance in the steering, rigid movement of the rudder or trim, and the presence of surface rust on joints and pins. It is recommended to reapply grease to all greasing points at the beginning and end of each boating season, as well as after each extended period of use in salt water; On boats with intensive use, it is advisable to check these points every 50-100 hours of navigation. Maintaining preventive and periodic lubrication is the most effective way to prolong the useful life of moving components and avoid unforeseen breakdowns while navigating.
