added for clarification: fiberglass tube is packed with grease (zerc fitting)
C&C 30: Fiberglass tube, UHMW Bearings??? Stainless shaft.
A friend asked what type of grease I would be using to reassemble. He is building his own rudder. He has tried marine grease, White Lithium, and read that Molybdenum would actually be harmful. Marine turned hard in 1 season, and white lithium appeared to "attack' the plastic spacers (Nylon? UHMW? Teflon?).
What is the best grease for rudder bearings?
