I tried asking this in "prop questions" but no one answered. Quick question--I'm going to change out my prop tomorrow morning and I have a question. Prop guy tells me I need to use grease, but I don't know what to use?? Also, where do I put it, on the prop hub or the shaft? Or both? Help me out!!!

marine water resistant grease, Walmart sell is. grease up the shaft, install prop. any grease is better than no grease.

I like to paint the shaft with a thin coat of zinc based anti seize compound then inside the prop with water resistant grease. The combo keeps on protecting for years.
