You might like to visit your local garage workshops.
I was chatting to the man in mine and explained that I was building a model boat and he gave me a free 'scoop' of 'water pump' grease. Obviously designed to get wet.

As there are plastic gears you have to watch they are not melted. try looking at tamya model car products as they are designed for the purpose. Peter

The best is a grease with teflon, if there are plastic-gears inside. But just a reasonable quantity as the grease otherwise can harm the bearings (depending on the pressure on the gears).
Another excellent stuff is thick Silicone-oil.

I use wheel bearing grease in my schottel drives, and have not yet had a drive gear fail, four of the units are now over twenty years old and work perfectly......
