I use a tube of Quicksilver Teflon lubricant because it serves both
plumbing and engine purposes onboard and (so far) has lasted years at
around the same $5 price point. Last time I used it was to seat an
O-ring for a basket-style debris filter between the raw water pump and
the block on my Atomic 4. It's widely available.

Quicksilver is a petroleum based lubricant...not recommended for use in
toilets 'cuz petroleum degrades rubber. You really should look for a
synthetic based teflon grease--which SuperLube is--next time you have to
buy a tube of it. If you can't find it anywhere else, try swimming pool
supply stores...it's the recommended lubricant for pool pumps, filters
etc too.
