Lewmar Gear Grease - 3.50z
Lewmar Gear Grease - 3.50z Product Description
Keep your marine hardware running smoothly even in the harshest saltwater environments with Lewmar Gear Grease. This high-performance lubricant is specially formulated to protect gears and moving parts from wear, corrosion, and friction, ensuring reliable operation season after season.
Why Choose Lewmar Gear Grease for Your Boat?
Unlike standard greases that wash away with the first wave, Lewmar Gear Grease clings tenaciously to metal surfaces, providing long-lasting protection. Its calcium sulfonate base delivers exceptional water resistance, high load-bearing capacity, and superior adhesion—ideal for the demanding conditions of sailing and boating. Whether you're prepping for a coastal cruise or an offshore adventure, this grease helps prevent seizing and extends the life of your equipment.
Key Applications on Board
- Winches: Reduces pawl friction and pawl spring drag, improving pawl engagement for safer, smoother cranking under load.
- Blocks and Sheaves: Minimizes wear on bearings and minimizes noise during operation.
- Windlasses and Deck Gear: Shields against rust and grit buildup in chain wheels and gypsies.
- Thrusters and Steering Systems: Supports heavy-duty components exposed to constant moisture.
Proven Performance in Real-World Conditions
Sailors and boaters trust Lewmar Gear Grease because it goes beyond basic lubrication. It enhances the mechanical efficiency of your rigging by filling microscopic voids in metal surfaces, creating a robust barrier against saltwater intrusion and abrasive particles. Regular application during routine servicing can cut maintenance downtime and keep your yacht or dinghy ready for action.
Expert Tips for Optimal Results
- Clean surfaces thoroughly before applying to remove old grease and contaminants.
- Apply a thin, even layer—less is more to avoid attracting dirt.
- Reapply after every 6-12 months of use, or more frequently in high-exposure areas.
- Pair with Lewmar's service kits for comprehensive winch overhauls.
The Science Behind the Stickiness
Calcium sulfonate complexes in this formula offer unmatched shear stability and extreme pressure resistance. This means it stays put under the torque of a loaded winch pawl or the constant motion of a bow thruster, outperforming lithium-based alternatives in wet environments. It's not just grease; it's your first line of defense against costly repairs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Lewmar Gear Grease ideal for marine winches?
It provides superior water resistance and high load-carrying capacity, reducing friction in pawls and gears for smoother, more reliable operation under heavy loads.
Is Lewmar Gear Grease waterproof?
Yes, its calcium sulfonate formula creates a waterproof barrier that resists washout from saltwater and freshwater exposure.
How do I apply Lewmar Gear Grease to my winch?
Disassemble the winch if possible, clean all parts, then apply a thin layer to gears, pawls, and bearings. Wipe off excess to prevent dirt buildup.
Can this grease be used on other boat hardware besides winches?
Absolutely—it's versatile for blocks, windlasses, thrusters, and any gear-exposed components needing waterproof lubrication.
What's the difference between Lewmar Gear Grease and regular marine grease?
Lewmar Gear Grease excels in extreme pressure and adhesion for high-load gears, while regular greases may lack the same water-repelling and shear-stable properties.
How often should I reapply Lewmar Gear Grease?
For routine maintenance, every 6-12 months or after heavy use. Inspect during haul-outs for best results.
Is Lewmar Gear Grease safe for all metal surfaces on my boat?
Yes, it's non-corrosive and compatible with stainless steel, aluminum, and bronze commonly found in marine hardware.
Equip your vessel with the lubrication it deserves. Lewmar Gear Grease turns maintenance into prevention, so you spend more time on the water and less in the workshop.
