Yeah, be careful. All rudder bearings are not created equal. On my
last boat, I just put a grease gun on the zirc fitting and pumped until
grease squirted out on the top and bottom.
On this boat that created a problem.
<http://www.wbryant.com/StellaBoat/Projects/steering/zerk/zerk.htm> I
actually haven't looked at that page in years, and find it quite funny.
And, by the way, I haven't squirted grease in there since. It's been
ten years, and the rudder has been worked pretty hard. Last haul out I
resurrected Bruce Lee to give it a good kick, and Marilyn Chambers to
give it a good wiggle. No problems.

the list over the years about changing out the grease cup in favor of a zerk
fitting or long hose with zerk to facilitate greasing and what grease works
best. <snip>
