I have a '74 C&C33-1. I have read that you should periodically lube the rudder post/bearings. When I look around under the cockpit I see where the rudder post comes up through the hull. There is some sort of gizmo bearing housing like thing glassed in to the hull. I had expected to see a zerk fitting there but no luck. There is one bolt in the side of the thing with maybe a 1/2 inch or 9/16 head on it which looks like the only removable bolt on the housing. The bolt looks way too big to be replaced with at zerk and it is not a grease cup. Is this the place the grease goes in? I was worried that if I unscrewed this the rudder might fall out the bottom of the boat or something. Any advice much appreciated.
