What got me was the double negative “non greaseless”. Had to find out what was up.

Just like a lot of people say they are got to 'Unthaw' something. ???

Well maybe it does make sense, Right now we are experiencing a Spring Unthaw, temps for next week are taking a nosedive with lows of -18. Brrrrrrr

Last year I changed the greased bearing in my VP to an ungreasable bearing for a Mercrusier. One less thing to grease

But why? I'd always prefer to be able to grease a bearing esp that one! The "greasable" gimble bearing on mine has lasted oh about 12+ seasons so far.
