    If the grease is ancient, you may want to disassemble the gear case to clean
    out the old grease first, as sometimes old grease gets hard and pretty crusty.
    Good to inspect bearing, gears, etc., anyway.
    I use tubes of cornhead grease in my grease gun. I make up a alemite fitting
    to screw into the bottom gearcase hole, and pump in grease until it comes
    out the vent hole further up. Normally this should be ample to lubricate
    the driveshaft bearing / bushing as well.
    Maybe someone with your particular model of Neptune will pipe in.

    Prepare to be boarded!
