Alan,
I saw your post below.  My 30-2 has a zerk on the rudder post [accessible thru 
a locker].
But, I'm not aware of a grease cup.  
Can you tell me where to look?  
Under the emergency tiller joint?
 
thanks,
 
Pete W.

It's hard to imagine having to replace the rudder post sleeve, and needing
a new collar.  Sometimes turning the grease cup (if it has any grease left
in it) will make the steering easier. If the cup is already screwed in all
the way,  remove it, fill it with grease and screw it back on until grease
is squeezed out of the top of the sleeve.  That should make the steering
easier.

Re: Stus-List Location of "grease cup"

On my LF38, I installed a Zerk fitting on my grease cup & I think a lot of C 
owners probably did the same.  The grease cup is about 2" in diameter and about 
3/4" deep and is located against the fiberglass housing for the rudder shaft.

Re: Stus-List Location of "grease cup"

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.

If you have a Zerk on the rudder post sleeve, the previous owner probably
replaced the grease cup with the Zerk.  The grease cup on my boat is on the
rudder post sleeve.
