Hi All,
I realize this issue might have been talked to death - however this is my 1st Volvo Penta AFTER many years with Merc's........Im in the process of getting items ready to winterize a 2006 Monterey 290 with twin VP DP-SM drives (motors are 5.0 GXI-f). I have the following questions (FYI - I have the workshop manuals and been reading over and over):
1. What is the recommended driveshaft spline grease to use? the manual just references Molylube, however I see some are using Mercrusier Spline Grease.....
2.What is the recommended ujoint grease to use?
3. Gimbal bearing grease?
Also, I had been thinking about pulling the Drives and storing them inside for the winter - as long as everything is blocked off from the elements, will this cause any problems? I would like to strip them down and repaint....
Thanks for the help,
Larry
