Hmmm... Never seen that Lube-it II nut before. (They do have a nice diagram though) Looks like a half-a$$ed copy of the Steersman nut that I've been telling everyone on this site to get for the last 3+ years. I think I've made at least 5 posts about it. I've had one on every boat I've owned for the last 15 plus years and never had a single failure of a steering cable due to lack of grease. They come in both aluminum (for freshwater use) or Stainless Steel(for Salt Water) and with the proper size threads for every make of engine out there. They have been around for years and used to be called Widgit Nuts. Changed their name several years ago to Steersmen. I've never had the o-ring blow out, and in fact, if properly installed it is just about impossible for it to blow out. But if it does wear out at some point in the far, far future a new one is easy enough to re-install in less than 10 minutes. Might want to look at their web-site.
