I'm reading a book about boat maintenance (he's been sailing for 20 years, compared to my 40 years ), and he's advising against lubricating the steering cable at the quadrant and the sheaves. I've always added a bit of 3 in 1 oil to the cable and to the sheaves as well as to the pedestal chain up top, to ensure minimum friction and smooth function. Can anyone suggest why this author would say one shouldn't lubricate these?
