Same stuff. I got the one in an aerosol can. You're probably better off with a small tube. When you squeeze the trigger on the can a ton of the crap comes out and it gets all over the place. When I first started using it, I would always get too much on the connectors. Too much dielectric grease will definitely attenuate the already small signals from the transducer and ruin your sonar's performance. If you get a small tube you can carefully apply to individual connector pins and small, hard to reach areas within connectors.
