I apply grease to the pivot tube grease fitting until I see grease coming out top and bottom. Mine is old and I don't know if there ever were seals. But, if a set-up has rubber seals (like balls joints on a vehicle, I only apply grease until I see the seal bulge a bit. More and you can burst the rubber seal and it will let water in.
Once there is grease throughout, most fittings only require 1-2 squirts of grease when greasing is done on a regular schedule. I added bright color zerk covers, as they remind me to grease and they make it easier for me to find the fittings when I am looking for them. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from...covers&_sop=15 btw can anyone explain marine grease vs car grease? Is it really that different? Last edited by 13Echo70271; 09-01-2016 at 02:33 PM.

I disconnected the cable from the helm and the helm seems fine so it's the cable, do you guys think that if I can some how get the cable to free up it would be good or should I get a new cable. If I get a new cable it's going to be hard to install it cause I think I have to remove the motor What would you do?
