Hi Guys,
=20
Just an update so you know what to expect if you drop your rudder:
=20
1. The clearance required is about 23=94. More is better but it =
can be
done.
2. My rudder stock had one 3=94 bushing at the bottom loose on the =
rudder
stock and nothing else. The top was supported by a =BC=94plastic plate =
on the
cockpit sole which I guess served as a bearing but was badly worn.
3. The stainless steel bolt was through the top of the rudder stock =
and
had two Polyurethane wheels (with flat bottoms) so no wonder there were
issues.
4. We were able to drop the rudder and extracting the key and =
loosening
the bolts and cable.
5. Took about an hout to drop the rudder. Some of the bolts were
pretty tight. Anti-seize on the new ones.
=20
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!!!

Regards
Rod=20
