    Bearing upgrade on a leopard 3674

    Hello.
    Which bearings are the best upgrade for a motor 40000 rpm+?

    Ceramic bearings are the best you can buy for a boat. They may be hard to find in the size you need, but once they are put in they will NEVER rust & should last a lifetime - in boat years - if lubricated properly. JIM

        Yes ceramic.
        I'm thinking for those

        but is it better with oil or grase lube?

          JKR: When you pay $160-$250 for a big brushless motor I don't think $12(+-) each is too much to pay. I don't have a clue about to lubricating them with or if they even need lube. Anybody out there know? JIM
