Default RE: lower unit lube

I understand your concern, but I have been told this by very reliable people that have been in the business a LONG time. Standard gear lube will probably work just fine as long as there is never any water intrusion. But the problem arrises when water gets in. Unless you change your foot oil everytime you get back in, you usually don't know that some water got into the oil until it's too late. I preferably would like a little cushion of time where the oil will still somewhat provide lubrication with a small amount of water in the oil.
