Outboard control lever maintenance

[Kesh]

I have posted 4 pics of the outboard control lever on the Tai-Tai.<br /><br />The last two have some arrows indicating the points I think should be lubricated.<br /><br /> link to pics <br /><br />Questions: any other tip for maintenance? Am I missing a lubrication point? Should I use grease (what kind?) or should I just use WD40?<br /><br />thanks in advance,

Negative on the WD-40 Kesh...<br /><br />My favorite for that use would be Aqualube brand grease, followed closely by white lithium grease, which you could pick up at an auto parts store..<br /><br />PS.. Excellent job on the gauge/switch panel...

why couldn't you just use some of that blue marine grease you use for wheel bearings etc? Maybe that is essentially what you recommended, Snapperbait?
