Default Packing the diffs with marine grease?

Is it ok to pack the whole diff front and back..also the gearbox to waterproof them?

thanks

Yes I did it with mine. Works beautifully and keeps the dirt build up out that comes from mudding and running in dirty water.

Its what i use and it works great keeps sand and mud from getting in there and grinding up your gear set.Its a little messy but make sure you pack both sides then when you put it together its gonna go everywhere but pack it back in because the more you have in the axle the less chances of water or dirt getting in
