Grease fittings
I have a number of grease fittings (Zerk fittings ?) on my new
trawler. Some seem to be the standard automotive size that I'm accustomed to, but some seem a size or two smaller. Can one buy adapters for a standard grease gun that go to a smaller fitting? |

Might be easier to buy new zerks. Check with any good hardware store. db |

Some of them are in tight locations. Get a new tip for the grease gun. Is a long pointy (needle) tip that slips into the hole the ball in the zerk closes. Works well in U-joints. Any good automotive supply store should carry them. Bill |
