STEERING CABLE LEAKING,HELP

[sold boat]

I went to my Tracker dealer last night to order a nut?seal?,

i'll try to explain, the steering linkage at the back of the boat, rod going through the back of the motor with the grease nipple on the tube,,, the big nut on the left hand side has some sort of seal to stop the grease from comming out,dealer say's can't get seal and the nut does not come with new one, leaks all over the back of my 1997 700 nitro with 1999 120 force motor, dealer says live with it and just clean off the grease when it happens, is this true or can the seal or nut be ordered?? thanks guys,

Easy to order from BPS if your from the U.S, never tried from here (Canada), I would have liked my dealer to help me?

also,



when you add grease into this fitting, be sure the steering linkage rod is inside the tube before you add grease.
