Most outboard lower units are filled with grease .

In addition to the lubrication Fred mentioned, if the prop is free wheeling, the gear case is in the water so it is being cooled, and there is no thru-prop exhaust to heat things up with the motor shut down.
I have never heard of anyone having a problem with this.
