Outboard grease for Vetus thruster prop - what is it really?

[stuartwineberg]

I am about to service my KGF55 thruster and the manual says to lubricate the prop shaft wth outboard prop grease before refitting. I have all sorts of greases and don't really want to buy a swindlery special - will lithium based grease do it or what.

Also there is a dire warning about not using copper based antifoul on the prop - do I just clean it and put plastilube on or what?

Thanks as always

Use a water resistant grease.
