Octamar™ SEA-L-SAVER
Premium Stern Tube & Bow Thruster Lubricant
- Octamar SEA-L-SAVER Safety Data Sheet (159kb PDF)
Octamar™ SEA-L-SAVER is a premium seal lubricant and sealant that blends with all petroleum-based oils and fluids, improving their efficiency and extending their operating life. It extends the life of seals in stern tubes, bow thrusters and hydraulic systems, and will stop, or substantially reduce, oil leaks from lubricating and hydraulic systems.
Octamar™ SEA-L-SAVER gives the oil high film strength for improved surface retention during both operating and idle periods and repels water to maintain a protective lubricant shield on metal surfaces, preventing seawater corrosion. Octamar™ SEA-L-SAVER will also emulsify water, which protects metal surfaces from corrosion.
Features and Benefits

Application and Dosage
For preventative maintenance in stern tubes and bow thrusters, substitute 20 – 30% of the current lubricant with Octamar™ SEA-L-SAVER. When propulsion assemblies start to leak, a corrective dosage of 20 – 50% Octamar™ SEA-L-SAVER should be used. In severe cases, 100% Octamar™ SEA-L-SAVER can be used. Add Octamar™ SEA-L-SAVER directly to the stern tube and bow thruster in-line head tanks at the desired percentage by volume. Adequate mixing will occur with normal operation.
