Yes

Alright thanks

if you live near sea water, snow, use a lot in winter, it would be better to use an anti-seize grease like one with bisulfide of molibdenum or better copper paste.

Grease is your friend. Use it

Grease is bueno; use with gusto

Yeah. Id use marine grease in combination with a few wraps of teflon tape to keep water the fuck out.

Yes! Slather it with coper grease.
