Cables out and waiting for my new one my question is this
Should I pack the tube with quick silver 24 c grease the put the rod in the tube or don't put any grease in the tube? Seems like a stupid question but I'm not sure which way to go

After measuring and remeasuring when rebuilding my 19 foot skiff,the one I ordered with my new helm was 6 inches short. Bought it with the helm so I couldn't return it.

Smokeonthewater it does help but it doesn't answer my question, but thanks that's a good diagram Should I put quick silver 24 c on the rod cause I don't have that nut pluss I here that the rubber in the nut falls out after awhile
