[QUOTE="Fishstix, post: 411769, member: 20999"] Ok, this thread was started due to my ignorance. Capt Ahab was generous enough to lend his boat to me. And after getting ready for the water I took it out to the local lake and ran the gas motor for 15 mins or so. Upon getting home I figured it would be best to grease than not to. So I proceeded to put grease in with standard grease gun and I did so very carefully and slowly. I felt as if I was not going in so I removed the rubber tube and fitting to verify grease was coming out. I thought maybe the grease in rubber tube may have been dry/hardened as it sat for awhile. I pumped in enough grease to get a 2.5" to 3" line of grease out of it. I'm concerned I put too much in and/or the gun was to much pressure. Again I didn't just shoot it in, very slow pull of handle. I dont want to put back in water if I could damage other components. Should I take this to get inspected, see if seals are popped out. Or is there a way to tell if they are blown out. Please let the comments fly, good, bad or other. [/QUOTE]
