Try an auto parts store (I've bought it in Autozone) , it's used in spark plug boots and they sell it in individual sized foil envelopes so you don't have to buy a 100 year supply.

West Marine carries it. They sell in a tube, and a spray I believe. Most use the small tube...

Most boating stores will carry it, but you can always just stop by OEX Point Loma and they will have what you need. You will find many times to use dielectric grease if you have electronics on board!

Will check in OEX first from now on...

What does everybody think about the 1/2 test tube size and shape of the electric connectors for sprinkler systems ?
Each one has a good table spoon worth of grease and it pretty self contained.
Would this be a good idea or just cheesy ?

This one at home depot has 4 tubes of grease for $3.87.
I guess you splice your wires together and jam it into the grease tube

I am using a Humminbird 717 and a Garmin GPSMAP 76CSX with it.
