I would recommend the Grease that OMC speced, or its equivalent. Mercury Marine also markets some Excellent Greases for use in Marine Applications.
Of course it is your engine, and you could use any grease you want, even Bacon Fat if you wanted to, but I say stick with the specified Lubes

So the only grease in town I can get is water resistant heavy duty lithium calcium grease will that work? Canadian tire, uap, and the power sports store don't have any.

Ya Perth power sports. They only have a squeeze tube of evinrude grease but it not going to work for grease fitting. The closest thing I can get is the water proof grease from Benson's. Napa uap the only store that has it is in BC and can't get it until next week

I leave Thursday for the week for fishing. Will the water resistant grease be good enough or just wait until next week for uap to get it. I don't know when the motor was last greased.
