Thanks for the link Mike. Great to have the documentation. Would you mind =
if I have Dick Saunders (webmaster, Out of Reach) link to it from the Frers=
33 site? Would be nice to have it available for those that plan to tackle =
the job themselves.=C2=A0
Regards,
Dave

In November the initial step was how to get the quadrant removed and the ru=
dder out.=C2=A0 This was followed by =E2=80=9CHow do I removed the bearings=

The Frers 33 has a solid aluminum rudder shaft.=C2=A0 On our boats we typic=
ally use copper based antifouling paints.=C2=A0 This leads to pitting in th=
e shaft near top of rudder. On top of that decades of wear and tear cause t=
he shaft to be just a bit smaller than when manufactured at the bushings.
