World Wide Marine 00178 Steersman Steering Cable Grease Guard 7/8" Stainless Steel

The Steersman Steering Cable Grease Guard is an innovative marine steering protection device designed to lubricate, clean, and seal outboard steering systems. This component prevents contaminants from entering the cable at the aft end where the carbon steel cable can rust and expand inside the sheath, causing steering failure.

Key Features:

• Stainless steel construction with integrated grease fitting for continuous lubrication
• Pre-applied Teflon thread sealant and replaceable Buna-N O-ring seal
• Compatible with Honda, Mercury, Mariner, Johnson, Evinrude, Nissan, Suzuki, Tohatsu, Yamaha, and Force outboards with 7/8" thread
• Fits most outboards with 1" tilt tubes
• Extends the life of new steering cables and smooths out old sticky steering systems

This grease guard protects and lubricates your boat steering system, preventing the costly and dangerous steering failures that can occur when saltwater and contaminants infiltrate the steering cable. Once installed and greased, the lubricant works its way up into the cable, potentially extending cable life to 19 years or more. The stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance in marine environments, making this an essential upgrade for saltwater boating.
