 GD Auto Lubricator on MBLT?
I tried searching, but couldn't find exactly what I am looking for. Has anyone ever added a auto lubricator to a 25 MBLT frame? I recently acquired a MBLT and being every other LT Iv'e owned has been a GD I'd like to install a auto-lubricator on this one. Any ideas?

It shouldn't need one, but if you feel the need, just get the gd one and install the same way. The seals hold the grease in by design.

I considered it on my old MBLT frame. I would think it would be good insurance. Damn sure won't hurt.

The MBLT that I had used considerably less grease than all my GDs. I wouldn't mess with it, MB dosent recommend greasing as much either.

At least there is anti-seeze on everything so it "should" come apart fairly easy lol

 Re: GD Auto Lubricator on MBLT?
I don't it every-time but I make sure to do it every 10 hours or so. It just makes sense when you're hunting salt marshes every other weekend

 Re: GD Auto Lubricator on MBLT?
When I ran my GoDevi LT's, my motto was "have grease gun, will travel". They oozed grease big time and later they improved it. My last motor was an MB and I never had to grease it as much, as Bigbend stated, MB warns that over-greasing is not a good idea, I did that and had to replace the seals I blew out. If you follow the directions given in the previous posts, you will be fine and not need the "auto-lubricator". Of course you can carry a loaded grease gun at all times.  So far my Backwater is new and lubed and there won't be as much as a need as the MB. Ninja is spot on, I change out the prop several times a year and apply the anti-seize and I run fresh water exclusively but after those first bind ups on the GD's, I learned my lesson! Keep it clean!
