Does anyone know from the manufacturer whether these - the two blade SAILDRIVE version should be greased or not and if so with what?

The website doesn't say, no info came with the props and the importer are closed until Monday - and I go back in the water Tuesday AM so if I need to get some grease I'd like to know sooner

Old threads on here have opposing opinions - ie grease and never grease so does anyone know definitively for this brand please?

Folding props don't usually require grease, but a bit of silicone grease on the pins won't hurt.

I have had that propeller on my saildrive for around 25 years. The original fitting instructions from Lake Engineering said to apply Keenol grease to the pivot pins and teeth of the blades and most of the time that is what I have done (not necessarily Keenol though).
