Max Prop Grease

[Dynamo1181]

I have always ordered Lubriplate grease from PYI because I have been unablle to find the product on the east coast. Does someone have a recommended substitute that can be found to a normal auto or marine type store. I would like to see others' choices.
Thx

I am using the waterproof grease made by Superior Industries for my Hydralign. I was afraid to go with the trailer hub grease you can buy in any marine or auto store for $7.

I don't like to answer a question with a question but this one begs the exception - given the cost of the prop, isn't it a huge false economy to find a cheaper alternative to that which the manufacturer recommends?
Although not necessarily true of all store, my local WM stores both in RI and Fl have Lubriplate on their shelf.

I was not begging a cheap alternative. I was simply looking for an available alternate product. The Walmart in Melbourne does not carry Lubriplate grease. I have seen Lubriplate lower unit lube but not the grease. I have been unable in years past to locate the lube in any marine supply store in the Annapolis or Melbourne FL area as well.

Try an auto parts store

search online.

I think I ordered several tubes from a distributor or maybe the manufacturer in Toledo, Ohio.

Ran into a garage door service shop that carried it too.

One can get it right fro PYI. http://www.pyiinc.com/index.php?sect...ept_id=79&sn=2

It is a special grade of lubriplate (130AA) different then the auto parts stuff.

Or one can get it right from the manufacture; Lubriplate Online Store - Detail

There is a slight difference in grades! I would prefer the best for it's use. See link; http://www.lubriplate.com/pdf/pds/3_...0%20Series.pdf
