The rudder on our C&C 37 is very stiff. I suspect the grease in the rudder post is old and thickened, does anyone have a suggestion on how to address this problem in the water?
There is a zerk fitting on the rudder post. I'm considering putting in some kind of thinner oil, and then pushing in new grease. I disconnected the cables on the steering quadrant, the helm was easy to turn after that and I was unable to turn the rudder by hand. Ryan
