Hi Guys,
Getting ready to haul Equinox and will need to drop the rudder and likely
replace the bushings at least as there is a lot of play. Already read the
articles on the site and have received some good feedback from Edgar. A
couple of questions:
1. How much clearance do I need to drop the rudder. I believe I read
somewhere 22 inches? Is that correct, I want to be able to drop the rudder
and post without depending on the travel lift or digging a hole in bedrock
:).
2. Has anyone any experience with Jaffa or other bearings versus the
bushings.
3. What bushing material has been used?
4. I assume the aluminum tube that is at the top of the rudder post
extends all the way down over the stainless steel rudder post.
5. Does anyone have a picture of the mounting arrangement at the top of
the rudder stock (where it is mounted in the cockpit sole)? Mine has poor
quality rollers mounted on a Starboard (plastic) plate and the rollers are
badly worn. Others I have seen have a stainless steel plate and Derlin
rollers on a through bolt.
Regards
Rod
Equinox
