Follow up: I fixed my squeaking, groaning rudder! I didn't even need to remove
the collar around the emergency tiller fitting. All I needed to do was to
squirt a little 3 in 1 oil between the rudder post and the plastic bushing. I
was looking for a more complicated solution, I guess.

Thanks!

Long story
Rob,
This sounds like exactly my issue, thanks for the reply. Did you loosen the
steering cable before you removed the collar, or did the shaft stay in place
under tension?
Thanks,

Another factor that probably improved the steering was the possibility that the
bearing collar that is mounted to the deck was misaligned when it was stiff and
corrected when you reassembled it. I experienced this problem on my LF 38 many

Long story short... I survey two 30MKII during my trek to find my boat.
The first had a very stiff steering issue, the brokers yard fixed it before
I had it surveyed. The would not tell me what was wrong or what they did
to fix it. In the end, the boat surveyed poorly and th

Yes, the lower tube. Not only got rid of the squeak for me , but freed up the
steering so driving became a real plea
Joel,
There is a ring there, yes. Does it come out without disassembling the whole
assembly? Where did you find a new one?

Jim,
If you have a delrin ring above deck it may be worn/the source of the
squeak. I replaced the one on my 35/3 last year.You could try smoothing it
off with some 800 grit sandpaper.

OK thanks. It made some difference for me at the time as well. I was not even
looking for a grease fitting back there until one of the other 30-2 owners on
this list made me aware of it.

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 th
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
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?
