I like Mercury 2-4-C grease. It has teflon in it. I have never broken a shaft in 40 yrs.

[David Bryant]

what is good lube for conventional flex cable set-up? (inboard set-up)

 

[Marty Davis]

I agree with Bill Hoch

 

[dave roach]

As Pete said Castor Never broke a cable in 35 years.Replace that plastic liner and put a brass one in

 

[Brian Sorgente]

Straight castor oil in the outboards and Mercury 2-4-C grease in the inboards.

Always thought about trying oilers in the inboards but never got around to it.

I like Merc 2-4-C too.

Lately I've been putting it in a 60cc syringe so I get a measured amount each time. I shoot it into the stuffing tube then insert the cable while blocking the motor end, keeps the grease where it's supposed to be.

 

[Shannon Muth]

Automatic transmission fluid and STP before and after each run.

 

[ACTION JACKSON]

I makes 1 oz of Kahlua with 1 oz of Bailey's cream and 1 oz of vodka. Works really well even better in the winter time

I've used Lubriplate for years. Don't mind greasing my shaft once a day. No. 115 Water Pump Lubricant, 16 oz. tub | Lubriplate Lubricants Co.

If you are using grease there is NO grease better than Green Grease. It's washout resistance and lubricating properties are far superior to ANYTHING else on the market. Best of all it is available locally at most auto parts stores.

It is absolutely the best. I tested about 25 different greases and nothing came close.
Forget the high end synthetics. I even bought several that were for lubricating the wet end of a paper machine and they were actually not so good at washout resistance compared to several others. Green Grease was superior to all of them.
