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.

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.

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......
