Yamalube Outboard Grease is a premium multi-purpose marine grease, developed and tested by Yamaha to deliver reliable performance under harsh marine conditions. Formulated with a lithium-calcium complex, this grease offers superior mechanical stability – it won’t drip or break down even under intense vibrations and heavy loads. Yamalube grease is highly resistant to saltwater washout, protecting components from rust and corrosion and thereby reducing maintenance needs over time.
Upon application, the grease forms a thick protective layer on all lubrication points of your engine. This includes the propeller shaft splines, steering system linkages, tilt tube, swivel joints, and every Zerk fitting on your outboard. Regular use of Yamalube grease minimizes friction wear, eliminates squeaks, and ensures smooth movement of the engine’s moving parts. The grease is free of lead and other heavy metals, making it safe for you and the environment. It meets stringent quality standards (ISO 6743-9: L-XBDHB 2 and DIN 51502: KP2K-25) for marine lubricants, ensuring you get a top-tier product.
Typical use cases:
- Lubricating the propeller hub and shaft splines for easy prop installation/removal and corrosion prevention
- Greasing transom brackets, steering pivots, and tilt mechanisms (pivot pins, swivel bracket, tilt tube) for effortless steering and quiet operation
- Lubricating throttle and shift cables, linkages, and steering cables to prevent binding and wear
- Suitable for all sizes of outboard engines (from small portable outboards to large V6/V8 models) and other marine equipment requiring a high-performance grease
- Easy application with a grease gun: clean the fitting, pump grease until fresh grease appears, wipe off excess – recommended at each seasonal service or every 100 engine hours
Installation/Maintenance:
- Apply using a standard grease gun to all designated grease fittings on the engine
- It’s advisable to grease after exposure to saltwater or extended storage to purge moisture and prevent corrosion
- Regularly inspect steering and pivot points; if dry or squeaking, apply Yamalube grease to eliminate friction
- Keep the grease cartridge/tube sealed when not in use to avoid contamination with dirt or water
- Yamalube grease is compatible with most other multi-purpose greases, but for best results, purge old grease and use only Yamalube for lubrication points when switching over
