World Wide Marine 278 Steersman Steering Cable Grease Guard 7/8" Aluminum

The World Wide Marine 278 Steersman Steering Cable Grease Guard is an innovative marine steering maintenance solution designed to protect and extend the life of your outboard steering cable. This aluminum grease guard replaces the standard tilt tube nut with a greaseable fitting that continuously lubricates and protects the steering cable from water intrusion and corrosion.

Key Features:

• Durable aluminum construction for corrosion resistance in marine environments
• 7/8" thread size fits most popular outboard motors
• Integrated grease fitting allows regular lubrication without cable removal
• Internal O-ring seal prevents saltwater and contaminant entry
• Helps prevent steering cable freeze-up and premature failure
• Extends steering cable service life significantly

Compatible with: Honda, Mercury, Mariner, Johnson, Evinrude, Nissan, Suzuki, Tohatsu, Yamaha, and Force outboard motors with 7/8" thread tilt tubes.

Cable steering failures typically occur at the aft end where the cable enters the tilt tube, as water and contaminants cause internal corrosion and expansion. The Steersman guard prevents this common failure mode by creating a sealed, lubricated environment that keeps moisture out while allowing periodic greasing through a standard grease gun fitting. Regular maintenance with this guard can help your steering cable last decades instead of requiring replacement every few years.
