    Lower unit use John Deer Corn Head Grease.  It works great for the 2 mighty mites I’ve had running.  There are 3 screws behind the propeller, and you need to remove the two furthest apart for regreasing.  Pull out the propeller assembly, clean up the gears and gearcase as best as possible, put an excessive amount of grease in the bottom of the gearcase and in the little cavity behind the prop shaft gear, and then sandwich it all back together.  The gasket at this seam may be bad, but using the old one to cut out a new one from any old gasket material works find.  push the prop shaft assembly back into the gearcase, and you know that you have a good amount of grease when a good amount spills out.  If you ever need to drain water from the gearcase(although you probably shoulden’t have to if you put a new gasket in), the middle screw can be unscrewed.
