Drive shaft lube - Info

[Rodneyae]

Here is a pic of the dirve shaft bearing lube point on a F12X. This should be lubed every 10 hours of use, using a marine grade bearing grease. I use Amsoils marine grade grease.

As a side note we need someone to sticky some of these maintance items. As it will make for someone new to the site easy to find basic maitance, and mod. items.

I agree with your interval and this applies to r's as well, but the book states to do it once a year or 100 hours or something. Same goes for oil, plugs are way up there.

great idea, there is nothing like pictures to help find what you are looking for!

Can you put to much? My 3 seater has 75 hrs, never been greased. Dealer had no idea it was even there! The good side of that is that they said they seldom work on these things!

I shot about 6 pumps in it and quit. Where will excess grease appear if you get to much?

I may ride it a day and shoot a couple more pumps.

Most of you do a couple pumps every 10 hours?

The excess grease purges out of the bearing, so overgreasing won't hurt it. Be sure and use a Marine grease rated for ball/roller bearings, sincce some are not.
