Is there a stainless steel replacement tilt tube for a Honda 130 hp 4 stroke? If not is there a grease nut to fit on the steering rod end of the tube?

Honda only has the standard replacement. Any of the grease nut's will fit the honda tilt tube.

Isn't the tilt tube metric(25 mm)on on the steering rod end and so the standard 7/8" grease nut will not fit.

Honda as well as other manufactor use the same thread on tilt tubes so that the steering cables will connect.

Sorry I guess I wasn't clear about which end of the tilt tube needs lubricating. The steering cable is fine. It's the steering rod end that binds and the threads on that end are metric. Thanks for your help.
