removing drive for first time - what is the "white sealing compound"?

[blurry]

I'm removing the stern drive myself for the first time. looking through the manual it says to apply "white sealing compound for drives" to the 6 studs. what is this stuff?

there is also regular reference to pent grease 828250 - is there a non volvo alternative for this?

​thanks!

Penta Grease is any good marine grade grease.
The white stuff I think is something like plumbers putty or sealer.

thanks, looks like merc has something similar. Time is on my side - I'm going to hold off to pull the drive as the season is close to over and there is no pressing need other than my curiosity

Just use any marine grease you can find on the 6 studs. I picked up some Quicksilver marine grease locally and use it for almost everything. The idea is to limit corrosion of the 6 nuts so that the drive comes off easy next time around. No "sealant" necessary.
