Simple tools to keep steering systems healthy

Steering systems must be properly maintained to perform optimally and safely. Lubrication goes a long way in the fight against corrosion, friction and wear.

Cable Buddy is a kit designed to lubricate inside the steering cable jacket for inboard, outboard and I/O engines. It is said to virtually eliminate corrosion and all wear in the inner cable, where most problems occur. When used properly, Cable Buddy also prevents freezing to -40 degrees Celsius.

This system includes a stainless steel nut with plug and sealing washer, oiling tube assembly and a steering lubricant, Max-Lube.

Max-Lube is optimised to work with Cable Buddy, and the manufacturer’s proprietary film delivers superior corrosion protection and rapid separation from water. Its unique formula is also said to reduce operating temperatures by 10 to 20 percent.

While recommended for marine steering cables, Max-Lube is also an all-purpose lubricant and can be used on all types of metal, gears, chains, fishing reels, and even sporting equipment.
