08 Mobius LSV Has anyone had issues with sticky rudder? It does not have a grease fitting, it has some nylon non greasable sleeve. I removed it 2 years ago and greased it , (huge pain in the but) worked great but getting stiff this year. Has anyone added a grease fitting to their rudder or an upgrade'
thanks

What kind of grease did you use? It is probably hard in the sleeve. You should be using something that is silicon oil based.

That would be OK for the rudder box, but not so ideal for the steering or rudder cables as it is too tacky.
