hi guys just wondering what the best thing to put on the pins of my center rollers to helps rollers spin easy. i have been using marine grease but is their something better out their

cheers

I think most people don't even lubricate the rollers. They should just roll if they have to. If yours aren't then maybe they have worn themselves down to an oval shape and not spinning.

Which rollers, keel or the wobble type?

keel rollers. nah their in good nick i replaced them last year and greased em up when i did made taking boat off and on alot easier. i will be pulling them off again to re grease. they just seem to get very stiff after awhile

You are better of to remove the grease as it gums up and creates a problem over time.

A light spray with Inox is all you need for lubrication.

Also make sure you don't have too much load on them.

I was just asking advice on a Facebook page about this exact thing. I'm replacing my keel rollers and pins. Maybe I'll inox instead of grease the new ones.
