Re: Winch maintenance
We use standard green waterproof grease for most jobs requiring grease on the boat.

Re: Winch maintenance
Lewmar Geargrease , Permatex High Performance Synthetic Grease.

https://www.lewmar.com/node/11510

Lewmar is almost four times the price.
It feels heavier and stickier than the Permatex.
I am trying both this season.

Re: Winch maintenance
We use Lubriplate Grease 130-AA. The same stuff we pump into our MaxProp.
