Hi Andy,
Thanks for the reply. Are you talking about the lower tube where the post goes
into the glass tube and ultimately out the bottom, or the top of the tube where
it meets the cockpit floor?. I put quite a bit of grease in the lower fitting
last year in a futile attempt to get rid of the squeak. The only thing that
seems to help is getting some lube on the emergency tiller bracket in my case.

My 40 and the 41 I'm delivering south from St John, NB at the moment both have
grease fitting on the tube. These are packed with grease and you give them a
turn every now and then to lube the tube. Mine hadn't been done for quite some
time so it needed to be repacked twice before I was confident there was enough
grease in there. That eliminated the squeak for me.

Jim, I do have a cover at my emergency tiller stock, but it doesn't keep the
water out. I have not experienced the squeak at the stock so can't offer advice
there. Is it possible to use something a bit heavier than McLube, but lighter
than standard grease. Triflow or similar?

Hello All,
I have a persistent squeak when I turn the wheel on my 30-2. I have traced it
to the emergency tiller bracket in the back of the cockpit. I can spray
McLube in there and it will go away for a short time, but always comes back,
especially after a rain. Was there originally a cover on the bracket, BTW?
I don’t see a grease fitting like the lower part of the shaft has, or another
way to get a better lubricant in there.
Anyone had this issue before? I am reluctant to remove the bracket for fear of
causing larger issues with the steering system, so reassurance there would also
be helpful.
Thanks,
