Had my boat almost 2 years and never greased a dang thing. Only found 2 zerks on my motor but did both yesterday.
The swivel pin took a lot of grease (11-12 pumps) and pushed grease out of the bottom. Is that ok? Did I blow a seal?

Normally you'll see the grease at the top... but it's not abnormal to get it at either end.
Definitely something that should be done at least Annually.

Thanks. Must have been bone dry to take that much. The only other zerk I found was on tilt lock lever. Are there more?Originally Posted by EuropeanAM
According to service manual there's two on ride-guide steering tube but I can't find any. Ride-guide = hydraulic? I don't have that

Behind the hydraulic cylinder you will find another fitting...

But that's only if I have hydraulic steering, right? Don't believe mine does.
Grease zerk should still be there. Just not hidden by the cylinder if you have cable steering.
