Mine is some 13 years old and the grease packing is in large part to keep water
out, at least in the "old" style. I also received a prop cover from Airmaster
so that the upward blade would be further protected during a rain. All seems
to work fine. I pack mine full of grease and it slings out a fair amount at
first
and then as excess blows out it it becomes very little. I deal with it, wipe
it off, not a big deal. The silicone upgrade I did helped some but I still
get some blow by.
Good news, prop has performed with out issue all these years!

would stay in place with the g-forces involved, although a read through the
Airmaster website does show a bulletin advising sealant is applied to an
internal
part of an earlier prop model, albeit to prevent water ingress as opposed
to lubricant egress.
