Thank you so much.

 

After much advice I went back for further inspection and found a grease nipple 
on the through hull bearing joint. I have ordered marine grease and will 
complete job Thursday.

 

In the cooler weather today and the other lubrication perfromed there was a 
markable difference noted but the greasing of that part should be an annual 
ritual as noted by another C&C Mark II owner.

 

Now that I know it exists I will make it so :)

 

Thanks again.

Hi,
 
I have a1988  C&C 30 MK II with edson pedestal and steering out of DYC in 
dartmouth NS.
 
The steering of Incognito has developed a major sqeak when turning the wheel 
and it is stiff to turn. This Problem was first noticed when the wheel seemed 
stiffer than usual after launch. Then it seemed to be intermittent  but today 
with heat is very stiff and loud..
 
First I thought it may be clutch on Raymarine wheel pilot but now I believe 
that I have narrowed it to either in the D 25 edson drive wheel or where the 
rudder post shaft enters the emergency tiller collar.
 
I thought about taking the screws holding the outer collar of the emergency 
tille on the floor of the cockpit before the walk through transor to see if I 
could lubricate but chickened out as I really do not know what taking those 
screws out would lead to in the water.
 
I have oiled the wire cable coming from base of pedestal to sheaves and then 
aft to drive wheel and the wheel runs quiter but the squeak is still severe.
 
Please can someoen give me direction as to what to lubricate and how and 
whether this can be all done safely in the water.
 
Thanks
