Spline grease vs 2-4-C & others?

[ErieRon]

I am reassembling my Alpha One MR drive, gear housing to shaft housing. My manual says to use 2-4-C on the splines of the drive shaft, but I've also read somewhere to use "spline grease". I have 2-4-C, 2-4-C with Teflon & 101. Anyone have any input on which is best in lieu of "spline grease"?

Thanks in advance.

Probably the same. What you want is a water proof "sticky" grease with some ptfe properties. I have used red tacky with success also.

The spline grease is a sliding grease do not use in bearings as they wont spin ,my merc mech told me that .
both will be okay as you should remove and grease every year.
