Ayuh,..... See my tagline,.....

Generally speakin', the gimbal bearing gets greased plenty, by owners that service their own boats,....
I grease mine with plain ole chassis grease, the same grease that lives in my "use it everyday" shop grease gun,....

Lucas Marine is a bit better than typical grease because it’s calcium sulfonate grease vs lithium complex. Better wear protection & water resistance.

most marine greases are calcium sulfonate. As long as you use the same type of grease and don't mix them, you should be ok.
