My 35/3 had the grease cup on the rudder post. It is brass, about an inch to 1.5 inches in diameter with a knurled cap. The whole thing would unscrew, I'd remove the cap, but the base back in, add grease and put the cap on. If you are going to replace it with a Zerk, you might consider putting a hose on it so you don't have to crawl all the way back to the rudder post to get the grease gun on or in the fitting.
