You have the older brass bushing tail cone, no lube there but for storage I would pull off the cone and grease the prop shaft and reinstall the cone to keep the corrosion down. The corn head is a great grease for the gears in the old cases it is a 0 at rest and becomes more fluid with gear motion then immediately goes back to 0 when motion stops. If you have good seals water will be kept out but regrease the gears often like after each use to keep the case in good shape. They are expensive to get parts and fix, grease is cheaper than parts. These quicki’s were not sealed that well with the type seals used.
FYI on the quicki’s I use with cone needles I find the #2 grease to thick and the rollers tend to slide rather than roll. I find the corn head grease in the cone works best for me and no water entry issues, and seals always need to be in good shape.
