I heard somewhere that you ensure yard has cradle raised 1 foot.

Are you doing the work this Fall? Give me a shout and I will come over
to assist or observe. Apparently Persistence will be replacing rudder
bearings this year or next as well as suggested in survey.

BTW. There are three weeks of sailing season left. That represents 15%
of the entire season.

Hi Guys,
=20
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:
=20
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 J.
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.=20

Regards
Rod
Equinox
