Tom,

Below are some links to product specs for a couple of different
manufactures.  One of them mentions using GL-4 for boat motors, so you
might want to see if there is anyone in your area that sells marine
supplies.

In situations like this what I have found that works best for me is to
phone customer support for the company (you should be able to get an 800
number from the company's web site) and ask them for the phone numbers
of dealers in your area.  Failing that you should be able to find
e-stores who will ship it to you.

Of course you can always use GL-5, but as mentioned my previous message
it will come at cost of shortened equipment life.
