Developed a rudder problem this weekend, rudder gets very stiff and squeaks=
very loudly when turned (and you can feel the vibration & squeak through t=
he deck too) when the boat is heeled over & the rudder is under load. When =
on an even keel, rudder is very smooth and buttery to turn.
Going to investigate & tear things apart this evening, but I suspect the up=
per bushing where the post comes though the deck may have failed. I believe=
the lower bushing was replaced 2 years ago, not sure about the upper.
Anyone have a similar experience, or advice on troubleshooting & repairing?
