Hi Tom,
I have forgotten the "switch on" a few times. You will lose a few
amps to alternator field current and that's about it. In my case I
can get a reminder thump from my electric fuel pump impulse (once in
awhile) if I'm paying attention.
Edson recommends SuperLube as "or equivalent". They are a common
enough grease supplier and at 7 bucks retail for a 3oz tube, it's not
expensive.

Check the price list tab on the website.

I like the idea of using a switch, but would there be an issue if
someone "forgot" to turn it off when the DC power is on, i.e, any
risk of damage to the electrical system or other potential
hazards? With the key, forgetting is much less likely for anyone with CRS.
As part of my spring tasks I will be inspecting and servicing my
Edson steering (I'm not sure when the PO did it last and I have not
since we got Alera last year). Edson recommends their Teflon grease
for the needle bearings. Is the lithium grease a viable
substitute? And if any knows the secret technical specs that apply
to these sort of lubricants it would be a help in finding a more
economical substitute for Edson's stuff.
Any other tips on servicing the system, besides what Edson has on
it's site, are also appreciated.
thx
