On my 30-1 we found the cups and associated grease exit hole so badly cruded up
that we had to take out the cup and the fitting which was screwed into the
fiberglass and clean it up.
After that, we filled the cup and rotated a bit to get the grease out the exit
and replaced into the rudder tube. Turned a bit more to lube and the squeaking
went away.

Blair,
There is an access panel in the ceiling of the very back of the aft berth.
Take those screws out and remove the panel. Mine also has an drain pan above
that. Once that is gone, you have a pretty good view of the cable and the
rudder post and you should be able to figure out what might be going on.
