[QUOTE="dhoganjr, post: 400032, member: 12925"] Somehow missed your post on this. It doesn't hold much grease, you just have to get out what you can till new grease comes out. The bearings will still have some of the old in them. As you run it, it will mix with the new and will eventually be all fresh as you add more. It shouldn't hurt it, just keep it greased. After several times out I take a zip lock bag and hold around the hose, then pump fresh grease till it comes out about the consistency of what I'm putting in. An empty soda bottle will work also, either one makes it easier to dispose of without making a mess. The old grease will be thinner, more liquid like, and slight to medium gray. Gives you an idea of the condition of the bearings. When the grease starts coming out dark to black in color it is going to need replaced soon. I just happened to notice it when I went to order parts through Outboard Jets. First I had heard of it, I had been using the same grease since the late 90's. Do my best to pass on useful information.
