All i've ever used is good old Mercury Hi-perf gear lube. I usually add Dow corning gear guard. It's a moly extreme pressure additive.

We Used Some New Stuff From Torco In A Set Of #5s With Good Results. I Had To Order It Through Torcos Distributor In Florida. His Name Is Jeff And His # Is 321-269-1498. Its Worth The Effort To Order, We Gained Speed!

I talked to Joe at my local marina and he sees speed when going Torco in the bigger drive as well.
