What to use for greasing spline, u-joint, gimbal brg??
In the past i've been using the Citgo Marine grease, light blue in color. I was in the Merc store the other day and noticed they have two different greases, one for the u-joint/gimbal, the other spline grease. Really? Two different greases? Any good reason for this?
I want to grease these u-joints today and would like to know if I should buy the merc stuff or get a good automotive grease instead?
Thanks.

That said, any grease is better than no grease.

If you plan to switch, it might be a good idea to clean out the grease that was left. Occasionally you can have compatibility issues with different types of grease.
