SuperLube is the best IMO...they make a whole range of greases, so you
only want the thick teflon grease in a tube, not the the spray or
liquid. It's also good for y-valves, diaphragm pumps and any other pump
that stays wet. A $3.95 tube of it should last you several years.


I use a tube of Quicksilver Teflon lubricant because it serves both
plumbing and engine purposes onboard and (so far) has lasted years at
around the same $5 price point. Last time I used it was to seat an
O-ring for a basket-style debris filter between the raw water pump and
the block on my Atomic 4. It's widely available.
