Never tried anti-seize underwater, I would be most worried about wash out.

The white lithium seems to cake up after a long period and any kind of regular bearing grease gets washed out quick. There is a very sticky red grease that I picked up from NAPA and it seems pretty good too but I like the blue stuff better. Volvo Penta makes a good prop grease it is a beige color not as sticky and seems to hang around for a while but over time seems to disappear (it is expensive) In any case if you pull the pins each season and re-grease you will never have a problem. They will come out like butter each season now. I

I am glad you got them out with damage to the unit or finger like I did on my last one...

That finger is......
