Also, along with everything that Kracker Jack just said, go to your local marina/boat store/eBay and buy a Steersman nut (used to be called a widget nut) for your cable. Really, it's the ONLY way to lube the cable itself at the end, which is where 90% of the cable failures occur. They come in Stainless steel and in Aluminum. If you're boating in the ocean, get the stainless steel one, if not then the Aluminum one will work just fine. It screws onto your tilt tube in place of the nut that's there already and it has a zerk fitting in it so you can actually greese the cable itself. Don't be fooled by the zerk fitting(s) already on your tilt tube. They only greese the tilt tube but do not greese the cable inside it. The Steersman nut is the only way to greese your cable.
