bought a small boat last fall, light, single axle trailer type of deal. trailer has brand new hubs and freshly packed bearings courtesy of the previous owner just before he sold it to me. for christmas, i got a pair of nice new stainless bearing buddies to put on my new [old] trailer.
the grease i have around, for my OTHER boat and trailer is your typical, marine store, lubri-mate brand of calcium sulfonate grease like they have on the shelves at boater's world and wally world.
the grease on my trailer with the new hubs and bearings is more light brown in color, almost like coffee with a little bit of cream. i don't know enough about greases to know it's type just by looking, but i'm sure some old hats can tell in a jiff...
...sooo...hoping one of you can tell me if:
a] what kind of grease the "coffee with cream" grease is
or
b]is it compatible with lubrimate calcium sulfonate grease?
