Grease for winches
I have a large tub of Valvoline X-All grease Part No. 563. I have been
trying to find out if it is similar to the grease normally sold for use in sailboat winches. The write-up on the side of the tub states similar properties (I.E:water repellent, salt corrosion resistant, adhesive and cohesive - highly resistant to wiping & rubbing, withstands heavy shock loads, etc. as well as having a similar texture and color) as does the tubes of winch grease I've used before, and although makes no mention of use in winches it does state it can be used for upper assemblies of outboard motors. I have tried to find it in online searches with no luck. Any of you grease experts out there know if it would be ok to use for regular winch maintenance? Hate to let it go to waste. Thanks, Red |
