Prop protection

[Ray]

On my 44cc I have a Gori 3-blade folding prop which is a sorry sight at the end of the season and despite greasing the gearing, the contamination often means the prop no longer folds. I have been researching various greases and came across Lanoguard Marine Grease which makes great claims of underwater performance. Has anyone in the group used this product and if so, what success (or otherwise) you have had with it?

What does the manufacturer recommend? I have a max prop and it specifically calls for 130-AA Calcium based grease. Lasts the year without a problem.

Gori recommend a lithium based grease but that is just not working. The yacht has just been lifted out this week, after 8 months in the water and the blades could not be closed using as much hand pressure I can muster.
