You can find that gooey silicone lubricant at marine supply stores or on the internet. I've used white lithium grease with no problems.

Dow Corning makes a product called DC-111, It is made for this application specifically, It is waterproof, and is good from -20 degrees to +200 degrees.
It works very well and doesnt need to be relubed.

In one of the many ES bushing threads someone mentioned taking a little sand paper to the bushing surfaces before you install them? Had something to do with keeping them lubed better/longer. Just wondering if anyone knows anything about that.
