Just servicing my windlass, does anyone know which grease to use on the cone clutch?

No grease at all on the cone clutch part, but waterproof grease on the shaft is normal.

It doesn't hurt to put a little heavy waterproof grease on the cone clutch. It certainly improves the predictability of the operation. It is preferable that the clutch slips before the shaft breaks or the deck is damaged!
