Maintenance TillerDrive:
It is recommended to lubricate the stainless steel drive rod lightly with a silicone grease after every 24 hours of use. This is available at any hardware store, including under the name Kranenvet.

The dark gray part of the TillerDrive can corrode in combination with salt and humid conditions, so rinse the entire drive with fresh water after use in salt water and store the drive in a dry place in a ventilated area. never put it on, for example, damp mooring lines in the box.
You can also lubricate the entire drive with the silicone grease, make sure it is clean and dry before applying the grease. Due to the silicone coating, water will roll off immediately and the dirt and salt can then easily be rinsed off.
