Thread: Boat Trailer Maintenance Time

The other one I've had a good run out of is a grease called Bigfoot (from Moreys if I remember right) - the purists turn away now but it's an extra high tack grease designed for seriously heavy duty mining applications and not strictly a wheel bearing NLGI-2 grease. When I say high tack, I mean this stuff is the Force gluing light to dark. It's a bastard to work with and it's coloured fluro orange so you can see it escaping but once it's in place it's in place. Perfect for areas where you can get water ingress and grease wash out.

That orange grease sticks like shit to a blanket alright
