Hi David,
I just signed up for this website, so not sure how it works. But, about your
issue - my C&C 34 from 1980 has the same grease cup. It is above the
waterline, so no worries about sinking the boat. I think you can buy a similar
fitting and replace what you have by unscrewing the metal base which is (I
think) threaded into the rudder stock support casing.
Let me know your thoughts...
Cheers,
Fred
