Default pull start maintanance

what kind of oil do you guys that have been around boats awhile use on your pull starts? I never used pull starts to much on trucks, used starter boxes. I know from experience though from helping others that the wrong oil is maybe jsut as bad as not oiling and letting it rust[&o] Once they start not engaging all the time its just down hill from there. I have seen where a shot of raw fuel dumped in the starter cord hole will make the one way bearing catch enough to start but eventually that fails also.
