My reccomendations

Gear lube

Merc= Hi-Performance
OMC= Hi-Vis


Motor Oil

Any name brand SJ rated straight 40
I like Vavoline Racing


Tube grease

OMC Triple Guard


Grease gun grease

Lubrimatic Marine


Gasket sealant

Hylomar I cannot say enough about this
product. Good for gaskets,orings, and
waterproof antisieze for threads. High
temp (you can use the spray Hylomar on
head gaskets), fills voids and remains
flexible


Caulk (above waterline)

Boatlife Lifecaulk (Polysulfide) it's
slow to cure but it is MUCH better
than silicone


Caulk (below waterline)

3M 4200 or 5200
4200 is fast cure permanent
5200 is slow cure VERY permanent

Fiberglass and gelcoat repair

Marine-tex


Feel free to argue with or add to my list
