Yes I used this material, a Thordon XL lot harder than Derlin.    =

 Thordon XL rough moulded tube 3" x 2.5" they use it on ships so it =

Not cheap but not the kind of job you want to do again.

Mike,

=20

FYI Delrin is actually a poor choice for the bushing material for a =
couple of reasons.  1 it is soft and dirt or other containments that get =
in there can quickly erode and grind it down, 2 it absorbs moisture and =
swells which can both seize up or increase friction on the rudder, as =
well as make problem 1 worse.=20

=20

One of my crew is a naval engineer and designs mega yacht stability =
control systems which have some very similar design components to our =
rudder shafts & posts in terms of engineering specs.  I replaced my =
failed upper bushing last summer and he recommended a composite low =
friction bushing material from http://www.cipcomposites.com/ that =
doesn=E2=80=99t swell in the presence of water (most plastics do). Cost =
was roughly $200 and it took about 2 weeks to get the part.

=20

Attached at the documents from the upper bushing I had made and may also =
be following along with you doing my lower bushing this year too, which =
I would have them machine up as well=E2=80=A6  Installation involved =
removing the upper bushing sleeve, removing the old worn bushing =
(appeared to be Delrin, at least what was left of it), then making a dry =
ice + alcohol bath and soaking the new bushing in that to cool it, while =
heating the bronze sleeve in an oven, then pressed the new bushing into =
the bronze sleeve.=20

Hi Bill

=20

No I had never greased the rudder shaft in the past.  This is the only =
reason that I can guess this bolt exists.  Judging from its location it =
would serve no other purpose.  When the rudder post squeaks on =
Persistence I would spray Fluid Film at the top of the post in the =
cockpit and the squeak would go away for a year or so.

=20

I am having the Delrin sleeves manufactured by a friend who has a =
machine shop.  He is also a boat owner and very knowledgeable about this =
sort of thing

=20

I agree that pictures are nice in the description of the process.  This =
makes it easier to know what you are looking at when you try it =
yourself.

Great postings Mike.  I can see why she is correctly named Persistence.  =
You, of course, should be christened Courageous. I dropped the rudder a =
couple times from my former boat, a Frers 30, but with a tiller, that =
was a piece of cake.  If I ever have to take on this project on my 33 =
(heaven forbid), your account and pictures will be invaluable.  How =
available are the replacement bearings/sleeves and what is the source? =
Also have you (or anyone else) routinely greased the rudder shaft via =
the bolt hole you describe above the middle bearing?  Hope you'll keep =
this post going to its successful conclusion.=20

Thanks and good luck,

As of now the top bearing or sleeve at cockpit sole is removed as well =
as a middle bearing just beneath the quadrant.  A lower bearing where =
the rudder exits the hull is still very firmly in place. =20

Note that these =E2=80=9Cbearings=E2=80=9D are actually sleeves rather =
