I just put a couple of drops of thin oil on the bearing at each end of the prop shaft(s) when I happen to remember to do so. I use my boats quite a lot and there is no sign of wear on any of the shafts or bearings so far.

Many of you seem to be using marine grease, at least according to the responses. How do you apply it?
I use an oiling tube fixed to the prop shaft casing but to get grease down could be problematical. Presumably you have to remove the prop shaft and inject it, or am I missing something?

For what its worth, I use "StaLube" marine grease intended to grease the bearings on boat trailers. Works for me. Len

If you happen to use modelboatbits as a supplier for your prop shafts he can also make a new bearing for you to fit the tube that is already in your boat. Other suppliers may also offer this service ?
Alternatively, you could get a replacement bearing custom made locally if you know anyone that owns a small lathe.
A model engineer would find this a simple job and may well have some phosphor bronze bar stock to turn it from.

Drilling out the old worn bush and pushing in a new replacement is by far the best bet and will save you having to remove and replace the prop shaft - as well as stopping any "oil slick" pollution in your local sailing waters.

As with the other comments already made, I use grease lightly on the prop shaft or petroleum jelly.

I use good old-fashioned starters or non-naval petroleum jelly
