Mine has squeaked from the get-go. My dealer told me there was no grease zerks, and no factory fix, over the past couple years,..... I've sorta forgot about it.
Looks like there are a couple advantages to being an old guy.,...
1. You forget easily
2. You can't hear as good.
BTW, I don't believe pure silicone spray attracts dirt and dust like WD-40 or chain lube products...I may give mine a couple shots of silicone spray on the steering column when I go out on Thursday...(if I remember by then)
Happy boating
