Hi, got a Vetus water lubricated shaft seal. It says use approved grease for Annual maintenance, anyone know what is suitable? Cheers, matt.

It's just lubricating the lip seals; any silicone grease would do, probably any grease at all depending on what material the lip seals are but sticking to what the maker sells for it is not a burden in this case.

Use the genuine article. Although costs more than a generic grease you need little and a tube lasts for years.
