Mercury – 2-4-C Marine Grease with PTFE | Multi-Purpose Marine Lubricant | 14 oz Cartridge | 8M0190471

Overview

If you’ve spent enough time around boats, you know the moments that stick with you aren’t always the big ones—sometimes it’s that quiet satisfaction when everything on the boat moves exactly the way it should. The steering wheel turns without hesitation. The throttle glides instead of grabbing. The hardware stays quiet and cooperative, even after a long day in rough chop. That kind of reliability doesn’t happen by accident. It comes from using the right products, like Mercury 2-4-C Marine Grease with PTFE (8M0190471), a trusted staple in toolboxes from seasoned captains to weekend tinkerers. It’s one of those items you keep around because it simply works, trip after trip.

Key Features

• General-purpose marine lubricant ideal for steering system cables, throttle and shift linkages, tilt tubes, remote controls, propeller shafts, swivel pins, and trailer wheel bearings
• Lithium-based NLGI 2 grease that holds strong, even when exposed to water
• PTFE-enhanced formulation for lower friction and longer-lasting protection
• Built-in extreme pressure additives for high-load, high-friction applications
• Maintains performance across wide temperature ranges
• Compatible with all standard 14 oz grease guns
• Meets Mercury Marine OEM performance standards

Engine & Boat Compatibility

Although it’s not tied to a specific horsepower or model, this grease is widely used across:

• Mercury and Mariner outboards of all sizes
• MerCruiser sterndrive systems
• Steering systems on fishing boats, pontoons, cruisers, and center consoles
• Trailer axles and bearings
• General hardware on aluminum boats, skiffs, deck boats, and more

If your boat has a moving surface that needs protection, this grease is likely part of its routine care.

Performance & Practical Benefits

Out on the water, every moving component is working against the same enemies—salt, moisture, heat, and friction. Mercury 2-4-C Marine Grease helps you stay ahead of those battles. You’ll notice:

• Smooth, steady steering feel thanks to consistent lubrication
• Parts that stay tight and secure, even after long hours under load
• Reduced metal-to-metal wear and longer service intervals
• Excellent corrosion resistance, especially in damp or brackish conditions
• A formulation that doesn’t wash away, even after heavy spray or immersion

From tilt systems to prop shafts, this grease gives your boat that cared-for feeling—a quiet confidence that every component is ready for whatever the day brings.

Why Buy OEM

You could reach for cheaper alternatives, but Mercury 2-4-C has earned its reputation for a reason. Choosing an OEM product means:

• A formulation made specifically for marine environments
• Long-term protection supported by decades of engineering
• Less chance of premature part wear, which saves money down the line
• A product you know meets Mercury’s demanding durability standards
• Reliable performance you can recommend to fellow boaters without hesitation

When you’re far from shore, it’s always better to trust what’s proven.

It’s ideal for steering systems, cables, tilt mechanisms, prop shafts, control linkages, and trailer bearings across Mercury and MerCruiser platforms.

Q2: How is it different from standard grease?

It resists water washout, handles higher pressure loads, and includes PTFE for superior friction reduction.

Q3: How do I know if this is the right product for my needs?

If your owner’s manual recommends 2-4-C—or you’re servicing any mobile part exposed to water—this is the correct choice.

Q4: Can it be used in freshwater and saltwater?

Yes. It’s designed to perform in both environments with strong corrosion resistance.

Q5: Is it easy for most boat owners to apply?

Definitely. It works with standard grease guns and applies cleanly and smoothly.
