Are you running a teflon liner? I use proboat marine grease but I don't run teflon liners, I may be wrong but I thought Ive read that if you run a liner oil may be better, someone correct me if Im wrong though

I run both liners and no liners, no issues with either setup.

I use Proboats grease gun with struts/stingers that have bushing liners that I cannot remove. Makes injecting the lube a lot easier.

However, with my boats that have removable floating brass bushings, I use my small tub of Grimracer grease since its easier to dab it with my finger and line the flexshaft full a grease before I put into the strut.
