Post How much grease?
Hey Fellas,

I have a 2006 23 gdlt i just got used. It seems to use alot of grease. Every time i run it for more than 20-30 minutes that red line in the pressure lubricator goes down by over half of where it starts. It takes like 5-9 pumps from the grease gun to get it back to 3/4 full. I'm brand new to the MM game and sure don't want to f?%$ this thing up. How Much grease does your gd use? Is it time for new seals???

I have the 25 GDLT and mine did the same thing if not faster, It is time for new seals when they leak that fast.

Thanks,

I Just ordered new seals, Prop, and a Nut set this morning. Can't wait to see the improvement. Oh yeah, I had them throw in a flag to. I don't know if you know this but you have to take it off before you start her up. :oops: :oops: :oops:

No Bushing, I grabbed the prop and cav plate to do the wiggle test and there is no movement left to right or up and down. So i figured there was no need for it to be changed...
