If you are in a salt water application I highly suggest you use Marine Grade Never Seize as the regular stuff will harden up and become Ever Seize. Personally I use the Marine grade stuff only on all applications. https://www.grainger.ca/en/product/p/LC ... Google+PPC

Too bad you live so far away as we buy it by the case for the shop. Would have given you an early Christmas gift. :-D

Just a heads up.....if you have the graphite based grease, only apply very lightly on spark plug threads ( less is better in this case ). The reason being, that stuff has a habit of taking on a life of it's own, as in "it gets everywhere".... the plug ceramics have to be clean and free of the lube or the graphite component will cause a miss condition by shorting to ground given the right path......
FWIW.....The above is just my opinion.
