[Paddlewise] Up the creek without a rudder

I know most of the people on this list seem to eschew rudders, but I have a
question and a comment. Is there an inexpensive product for lubricating the
cable through the cable tubes. The local kayak store had something that
looked appropriate, but wanted $9 for about 4oz. I also wanted to say I was
impressed with the service I got from Seal Line about my broken rudder. I
e-mailed them because the toe rail on my kayak was breaking. I've read that
others have had the same problem. They e-mailed me back within an hour
saying they were aware of the problem and had changed the rails from plastic
to aluminium and would send me a free replacement 'toot sweet'! Well he
didn't actually use the words 'toot sweet', but at least I got that
impression. He even tried to schmooze me by saying it usually only happens
to the racing crowd. Now I have new rails for the rudder I hardly ever use!
