Most "marine greases" are designed to be water insolvent, resist
washout etc. in bearings. Water soluble lubricants are most commonly
used in tooling/cutting applications. What exact grease are you using?
Most people would just use a common hardware store lithium soap
grease. It's white does not make much mess and cleans up well with a
dry towel. Lithium soap greases vary in their water resistance, but
I'd expect the "marine" variants to be at the more water resistant
end.
