Guys i am trying to figure if this volvo penta steering pin guide is greasable. New to me boat has a stiff gimbal ring. I sprayed this part with some silicone spray and it moves a little easier. I see that it has a hole on the bottom but no grease zerk fitting on any of the diagrams from volvo. No info regarding greasability. The part number is 3858192.

Not much is greasable/serviceable for Volvo gimbal steering assys, they are pretty stout and I have not had to deal with too many over the years.

Ime stiff steering is the result of a faulty steering cable in most cases

Boat was water kept and everything it's either rusted or fully gone. I put oil on the bottom where the shims are and it loosened it. But i want to make sure it can be greased and wondered if that was possible.
