Nothing on Brilliant either. The clearance between the rudder shaft and the b=
ushing is extremely small so in the worst case should not result in a signif=
icant leak, and the top of the lower tube is well above water level so shoul=
d never be a concern. Even when you lay the boat on its side the rudder post=
will be out of the water!

to the boat. Does anyone have something there. If so what?
