ABSTRACT:
A technique for lubricating a standard outboard motor steering mechanism comprises removing and discarding the conventional nut captivating the motor tilt tube to the motor brackets. A hole is drilled through the tilt tube. The conventional nut is replaced with a nut having a radial threaded passage through which lubricant is added to the interior of the tilt tube where the steering mechanism is located. The nut of this invention includes an interior groove so the tilt tube hole and radial passage do not have to be radially aligned. In another embodiment, a similar looking arrangement is incorporated into one of the motor brackets through which the tilt tube extends.
