Seacock Grease


 

Before I purchase a tube of seacock grease I thought I would check with the forum on the possibility of using a tube of NLGI Grade 2 Lithium grease that I have hanging around. This is a medium density non-hydrocarbon grease. I also have a tube of Lewmar Geargrease made with Calcium Sulphonate. Thoughts?

Thanks, Dave G

I'm not an expert, but if you have the original Spartan bronze seacocks, I will say that the Spartan grease is quite thick - thicker than any other grease I have used.?

David -

I just did all of the Seacocks on my boat, and I used the Spartan grease. ?I read this article () and everything in it made sense to me. ?I will say I have used every kind of grease there is over the years, and there is definitely something different about the Spartan grease, and I am very glad I used it. ?

Unfortunately, ordering on the Spartan website does not accommodate Canadian shipping addresses and there seems to be no Canadian retailer for Spartan Seacock Grease that I can find. ?I can purchase ¡®Seacock Grease¡¯ from ¡®The Binnacle¡¯ in Halifax, NS (awesome retailer!!) but I am firstly wondering about the potential application of the products that I had mentioned.

Thanks, Dave

Also Canadian here eh!

I just did this job recently.

I used loctite clover lapping and grinding paste (280 grit) - Spartan is 320 grit
The grease I used is Quicksilver 2-4-C marine grease.

Both available on Amazon.
