No need to take anything apart. Just remove the v-drive cover and you can see the shaft going into the seal. Just rub grease on the outside rubber and have someone turn the prop as you apply. Some should work into the rubber seal this way. Pumping grease in the seal would just spray out into the lake as the cooling water was pumped into the inside of the seal.

You are only trying to add moisture to the rubber. Not lubricate a joint or shaft.
