The grease doesn't prevent the water from coming in. Nothing can. Reels are full of gaps, nooks and crannies. Think about how much spray you reel takes on over the course of a season. The grease doesn't allow the salts a place to attach. And, yes the yamaha grease applied to all your bare, dry metal, will adhere nicely and in all likelihood remain there throughout countless light freshwater rinses.

Hope this helps.
