Different boat, but my 30 has a screw cap that one fills with grease. Then periodically turns the cap to push more into the column. A pain to get to. Luckily I have a flexible son.RonWild CheriC&C 30-1STL

Coming back to the states from the C&C Rendezvous today I notice a chirping sound that seems to be coming from the rudder post. I opened the cover to where the emergency rudder attaches and I could feel the chirps. The was also a minuscule movement as well (less than 1/32nd of an inch). But the steering had no additional play in it and I could not trigger the sound from the helm. When she as hauled out last year I confirmed that the rudder post had no play in it at all. I plan on inspecting the quadrant and top where it attaches. Anyone have a clue? Like are there actually zerc fittings on the post that I missed?
