Great idea Craig, thanks for making this post. Not only will it keep from damaging the seal behind the prop but also keep the prop from seizing on the shaft.
The last two boats I have bought, had props that were hard to remove, one was seized, because they had rarely if ever been removed. Pulling them off once a year to check for line and adding some anti-seize compound is something I have added to my maintenance routine. The anti-seize lube might not be needed with newer boats that have had their props removed on a regular basis but older boats with their older motors could really benefit from this procedure.
