• Trawler Forum Classified Posting Guidelines
    • We expect ads placed to be related to the topic of this forum.
    • Ads that are inactive for 180 days or longer may be moved to the Classified Archive and locked. Ads may be relisted if the item is still current. Alternatively, owners may contact a Moderator to reinstate an archived ad.
    • The Classified section is for advertising, members are asked to refrain from posting discussions to a Classified Ad. Please start a discussion thread or PM the owner for discussions.
    • Do not hijack another member's ad by posting unsolicited commentary. Example: if a member has posted an ad offering an anchor for sale, don't add a post to his thread stating that you have an anchor you'd like to get rid of also. Posts deemed as unsolicited commentary may be removed.
    • For your own security, do NOT include your e-mail or phone number in your ad. Instead request that interested parties contact you via PM (private message) to provide owners contact info.
    • Brokers, Dealers, or those with a commercial interest in a sale are prohibited from posting in Classifieds.
    • Only Trawler Forum Commercial Members may post ads in the Commercial section. You must be a designated Commercial Member to start threads in this section of the forum. (Contact a moderator if you have questions about this)
    • Don't post links to commercial sites where you are also offering the boat, such as eBay, Craigslist or Yachtworld, etc. unless it contains a more in-depth description, additional information or pictures.
    • Place only one ad per item (you may repost only when your ad has expired and been removed).
    For Sale ads MUST include:
    • Asking price
    • Location
    • A Basic Description
    • Clear statement whether you are the owner or non-owner (posting for friend, relative, or acquaintance)
    • Don't forget to select: FOR SALE, WANTED or FREE in the Title block.
    All ads should also include ALL the following:
    • Pertinent maintenance and condition information
    • Exterior picture or pictures
    • Interior picture or pictures (boats)
    For maximum impact & exposure, it is suggested the Ad Title include: Year, Manufacturer, Model, Length, Price, and Location or at the very top of the ad body. When your item has sold or the ad is no longer relevant: Please post a Reply to the ad that the item is SOLD or click "Report Post" on post 1 of the thread to ask a moderator to archive the ad. Ads may be moved or removed by our staff at any time for any reason. All ads must comply with site rules. Thanks for your cooperation.
  • Avoid Scams.

    Our classifieds are free and anyone registered here is welcome to post an ad.
    Be aware that there are unscrupulous folks out there. Avoid any interaction that seems odd to you or �feels� wrong. Inquiries from unknown buyers, buyers �agents� and other non-traditional approaches should be treated with extreme caution.

    Beware of unsolicited contacts offering to put you in touch with someone else who is buying or selling via e-mail or text.

    Do not post your e-mail address or phone number in a classifieds ad.

    Hints that you may be dealing with a Scammer:
    • Seller or Buyer approaches you via a direct email or PM and then steers you to an off-site communication method (text or email).
    • No posts or very few forum posts.
    • Recent forum membership
    • Insists on conducting negotiations via email or text rather than PM
    • Requires payment via Bank Transfer, BitCoin/CryptoCurrency, WesternUnion or other unsecured method.
    • Buyer or Seller suggests Paypal "Friends and Family" payment. Paypal is a good way to arrange payment but an invoice for goods and services should be used rather than "Friends and Family". "Friends and Family" avoids fees BUT there is no recourse if the transaction runs aground. Friends and Family is for gifts only. There is no protection for Friends and Family transactions, so never ever use it to buy something.
    • Declines to allow viewing the item before proceeding with the transaction.

I have several projects on my boat that are pending. All the instructions, at some point, indicate using elbow grease. I an guessing I need at least a gallon. I will pay for the shipping.
 
I have this man Sean who has lots of elbow grease. It isn't cheap and the shipping with applicator tools would also be high.

Damm, I would give to you, but I trow in the garbage a week ago.
 
I have some on the shelf. However the only size it comes in is pints. It's small watery and spreads itself all over the place. It's also extremely expensive to ship! I'm sure also that mine is out of date. I find if possible it's best to buy it locally so it's fresher. :trash:

Is this the same red stuff that dries to a brown color, typically gets all over your knuckles and fingers?
 
What is the town this grease is going to be shipped to. If close enough could deliver instead of shipping.
 
Did have some at one time, but I find evaporates very quickly, cannot seem to keep it in stock!
 
Originally I used shoulder grease; worked swell.

When I couldn't make any more of the shoulder type I resorted to elbow grease. Then, I broke my elbow grease applicator!

Now I use wrist grease. Sold by same manufacturer as other greases and easy enough to locate... but... not quite as powerful for turning wrenches.

I'm concerned that eventually even wrist grease will get in short supply. That means I have to resort to knuckle grease.

After that comes finger grease... which is after all where all the grease ends up at the end of things!

Of course, except for the grease smudges on your face due to wiping away sweat or adjusting glaces just to see what all the grease is actually doing!!!

hmm......you're in Florida, right ? I might have some available in February ( I'm in Boston )....cost = round trip airfare, 2 weeks food, and lodging with a water view.
 
Here you go! It's a bit steep, though.

I've seen the results of Seans elbow grease....Worth it. Sean and Ted are a formidable force in boat restoration/modification/updating etc.
 
My wife used to have a good few gallons, but she let it sit on the shelf for too long and it dried up and lost its lubrication.

So now there has been a shear drop in force and it has became a bit plastic.

Such is life.

Wonder if I should go looking for some younger grease?
 
There is/was a veterinary drug called cartrophen.It was claimed to lubricate arthritic joints, reducing pain, and to promote cartilage regrowth. I once showed the information sheet to a Rheumatologist who thought it was hormonal in nature. That could be, we gave it to a dog with a chondosarcoma (cancer of cartilage), the tumor grew rapidly for 2 months post injection, and then slowed down.
An injection could be good for around 6 months and seemed more effective than the tablet form also available. Occasionally I see a report suggesting it or something similar is being used on humans, maybe in trials.
So, a kind of elbow grease, but quite different to the old English origin.
