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

Maybe this will help...

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

My suggestion is get the nut and then use oil instead of grease...

Grease is basically oil plus soap.... The oil comes out of the soap in time and dirt gets trapped and things get sticky... Oil only doesn't get sticky.
