Hi everyone, I'm re-posting this message since I've been having some issues
with my frers-list registration. Hope it'll work now:
My surveyor indicated that I need to replace the cutlass bearing and the
shipyard where "austral" currently stays is quoting me the following:
"Remove rudder to remove shaft, pull prop and shaft and replace cutlass
bearing:12 hrs of labour US$1,276 total ".
I'm told that they cannot remove the shaft without removing the rudder.
Knowing that my rudder seems to be OK and having read the many posts about
rudder bearing issues, etc. I rather leave it undisturbed. So, I've gone
through all the frers-list archives since 2004 to this date, as well as the
FAQs in search of tips. Seems to me that it shouldn't be necessary to remove
the rudder at all.
If anyone who went through this work could share some advice and experience
it'll be much appreciated! (I need to confirm go/no-go by next week).
