I just picked up a used 23 HP Copperhead.

How often should I grease the prop shaft?

How many pumps? How do I know when enough, is enough?

Can I use the same marine grease I use on my hubs?

Thanks Fellas!

Come on....someone's gotta' have some guidance for me.

First off I know nothing about copperhead s, but as long as you use a quality marine grease on you hubs yes. As for the prop, depends on the way they are setup, they're not a manual online

My first copper head they said do not grease it, My last 12hp I had to grease, My new 18 I have not took it off the pallet and read the instruction to see whats needed. I would call copperhead and check.

I've called Copperhead twice but I haven't gotten a call back.

Anyhow, there are zerks on the drive shaft. One by the prop and one on each side of the pulley for the belt.

one pump of the red CRC marine grease in each zerk every 20hrs.

and that's using your standard grease gun....forgot to mention that. Hope this helps

What Puddle Jumper said.... I don't wait twenty hours though. I have a little mini grease gun with marine grease that I keep in the truck and just give it a shot after pretty much every couple hunts because it only takes seconds and I am pretty anal about maintenance. The zerk by the prop takes very little and you can feel the backpressure when it is full. On mine I don't ever get any backpressure on the other zerk so some of it is probably going into the shaft.
