I also use Lubriplate 130AA on Calypso rudder, steering, and MAX prop. Another area to check is under any load bearing areas at the top of the rudder shaft. If needed it is possible to run lines under the rudder to hold it in place while cleaning and lubricating load bearing areas.

(IIRC) It is the grease that is recommended by PYI for my MaxProp. I didn't realy want another product floating around so I grease everything with this stuff. Works fine on the marlon (plastic) through hulls, the rudder, and the prop.

I have wheel steering and the rudder is very tough to turn. Boat has not been in an accident so post is not bent. I tried slackening off the cables - no result; tried adding a grease fitting to the rudder post cover and pumping it full of grease - just made a mess and no change. I suspect that someone has used the wrong sort of grease and it just needs degreasing. Rather than dropping the rudder, any thoughts about a lubricant that might help.
