I installed a steering guard nut w/ "O" ring after replacing a frozen steering cable in my tilt tube, the nut has a zirk fitting for grease, it also has a port for optional steering lubricant (oil), I have NOT added anything yet, should I use marine rated grease, or use the Oil, or just leave it dry to protect the steering arm from salt water and sand. Can anyone who uses this device suggest the correct lubricant for salt water use.

Thank's...
