Rudder Play
Posted: Fri Sep 21, 2018 12:00 pm
Iām appealing to those more knowledgeable than I on these matters.
The top of the rudder on Calypso where it passes through the cockpit sole has quite a bit of sideways play. This has been there some time but appears to be getting progressively worse. Is it straightforward job to fix and can it be done with calypso still in the water. How do I dismantle toreplace it and where is the best place to source a replacement bearin? Bottom bearing was smooth with no play so no problem there.
