[Paddlewise] Rudder cable lubrication

A quick question...I recently bought a lightly used
Mellenium made by Old Town Canoe and Kayak.  

I'm really happy with it so far (I haven't had much
time for paddling lately) but I noticed that the foot
pegs aren't pulling the rudder cable smoothly.  There
seems to be something holding it up, especially on the
right side. I haven't had a chance to really study the
problem in depth, but the previous owner of the boat
suggested lubricating the cable.  

Before doing anything, I'm going to take a look at the
whole mechanism, but I'm curious, do you need to
lubricate the cables, and if you do, what should I
use?
