Grease for Raw Water Pump Bearings - Bravo

[mike77cj]

I changed the seals on a raw water pump and need to repack the bearings and housing with grease. The OEM manual calls for Shell Alvania Grease EP(LF), or equivalent. Anyone have any off-the-shelf brands I can fire in here tonight?

Thanks in advance!

I would think any quality wheel bearing grease will do.

Thanks BtDoctur. I think I will either use some SuperTech marine grease or Quicksilver 2-4-C.

What year is your drive that it takes grease? Mine is a '92 w/ the fuel pump on it and it uses the Merc high performance drive oil in it.

I am assuming yours does not have the fuel pump on it. If that is the case, I would agree w/ BTDoctur that a high quality wheel bearing grease ((waterproof (and maybe synthetic) like for trailer bearings)) would be just fine.

The engine/drive is a 1998 model. The raw water pump does not have a fuel pump on it. The existing grease was a green, lithium type grease.
