Make sure that you check the alignment of the upper bearing connected to the
cockpit floor before replacing anything! Sometimes this bearing shifts
laterally and make the steering appear to be stiff. It is an easy correction
to make.

When I wiggled back far enough to reach the grease cup on my 36 project boat, I
found that after 35 years in Florida it was nothing but a flakey ball of rust.
I tried to turn it anyway but it fell out of the fibreglass as soon as I
touched it. The tiny bit of grease still protruding from what wa

Mostly the backstay on a masthead rig tensions or eases tension on the

You are correct about the 6 inches for masthead. This is about the same on our

But, I'm not aware of a grease cup.

If you have a Zerk on the rudder post sleeve, the previous owner probably
replaced the grease cup with the Zerk. The grease cup on my boat is on the
rudder post sleeve.

My 35/3 had the grease cup on the rudder post. It is brass, about an inch
to 1.5 inches in diameter with a knurled cap. The whole thing would
unscrew, I'd remove the cap, but the base back in, add grease and put the
cap on.
If you are going to replace it with a Zerk, you might consider putting a
On my LF38, I installed a Zerk fitting on my grease cup & I think a lot of C&C

3/4" deep and is located against the fiberglass housing for the rudder shaft.
