    Hey sorry I don't get on here much. I am very close to running it, and I am using the Top Prop which has great torque but is a little heavy- I did a TS 550 on a 470 180 with same prop and it is night and day. 615 948 0315

    Hey BCers... What are you amphib guys running for grease in your wheel bearings, gear scissors etc.?... wet prone stuff. Just got a Seabee (big motor) and hoped the operators could chime in since there are many newer compounds since 1947. This one hasn't flown in awhile but desert hangared, all the rubber grease etc is well..sad LOL
