[Alberg30] winch grease

[Kevin Blanc]

I think this all varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. I am certain 
that there are some winches that require grease on the bearings and oil 
- no grease - on the pawls and springs.

A tube of bearing grease will last through years of cleanings. It is 
formulated differently than wheel bearing grease. Is the difference 
important? Who knows. Is it worth paying extra for the one tube of 
grease you're going to buy in a decade? I'd say so.
