Simple Tools Keeps 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. Whether as part of end-of-season storage or ongoing upkeep, Davis offers solutions to help maintain steering system health.
Cable Buddy is a kit designed to lubricate inside the steering cable jacket for inboard, outboard and I/O engines. It virtually eliminates corrosion and all wear in the inner cable, where most problems occur. When used properly, Cable Buddy also prevents freezing to -40°F.
This system includes a stainless steel nut with plug and sealing washer, oiling tube assembly and Max-Lube, the ideal steering cable lubricant. Cable Buddy’s lube nut fits motors with 7/8″ x 14 pitch threads. Max-Lube is optimized to work with Cable Buddy and has many advantages over competing synthetic and premium oils. Davis’ proprietary film delivers superior corrosion protection and rapid separation from water. Its unique formula can reduce operating temperatures by 10-20%. With greater stability at temperature extremes, Max Lube helps keep equipment running smoothly and quietly.
While recommended for marine steering cables, it’s also a versatile all-purpose lubricant. All types of metal, gears, chains, fishing reels and even sporting equipment can benefit from Max-Lube’s protection. It comes in a 3 fl. oz. container. For more information, visit: www.davisnet.com.
