Grease gun

[robertj]

Does any one know of a grease gun for blakes seacocks, which has a fitting to get into awkward areas such as head compartment where straight connection isn't viable?

Three suggestions:

1. Flexible hose on the grease gun

2. Angled grease nipples

3. Slide on type grease nipples and connector ( and hose)

Google for them ?... If you change the nipples you will want stainless ones I guess

They shouldn't need to be stainless if you keep them well greased.

Have you got room to use something like this?

I have used the Hilka with great success. Pretty well put together, good value and more than adequate for occasional use. Bit bulky and takes a lot of space in the toolbag if you intend to keep it on the boat, in which case the more compact cheapo pom pom type might be good enough
