I too have a squeak issue. It seems to be coming from under the
quadrant rather than the base of the pedistal. Rudder seemed tight
when I had her hauled in July...any ideas?
Also, are there any of those grease fittings on the 37+/40?

Bailey, just to add to what Josh said there should be 1 or 2 grease
caps under the cockpit floor to lube the rudder shaft. You turn the
caps CW periodically to force grease into the tube. I can't remember
if I reached in there from the foot of the quarter berth but I
believe so. They are 3/4 or 1 inch in diameter and length. That may
help if the rudder post feels tight or squeaks.
