1 Peggy, In one of your recent post, you mentioned using teflon grease to lub the inside of the Jabsco rubber parts. Can I use silicone grease instead of teflon grease?

We're only talking about $3.95 tube of grease that you can also use to lube y-valves, manual bilge pumps, seacocks and just about anything else that stays wet...and will take years to use up even if you lube everything in sight with it.

Amazon has it...so do several other

AAA Industrial Supply Inc. They even sell it in a 400 gram can. I figure that ought to be pretty near a lifetime supply.

Here's the parent company's website (Synco Chemical): It includes a list of authorized distributors. You'll want the grease, not the aerosol spray. The grease is about the consistency of toothpaste, and comes in tubes or cans, depending on the size you need.

Peggy, now that I've got the Super Lube, beside using it for the heads pump O-ring, can I use it for my sea water pump impeller? Thought it might be good to lube that impeller so that its smoother and such?
