My sleeve was the whole length and I drilled out the whole length and replaced the whole sleeve.
Leaving it for local coastal sailing...? Well its out so maybe give it a go now? Call me today and if no better answer I will detail mine out. David F. Risch, J. D.

When you did yours do you remember if your lower sleeve was also about 4 inches And if I can’t get to it do you think it would be okay to leave for my short season and do it this winter the play is the same as when I left Newport last year My greatest fear was removing the disk Thanks Peter Sent from my iPhone On Jun 4, 2018, at 7:57 AM, PETER OCAMPO <bcwwka...@gmail.com<mailto:bcwwka...@gmail.com>> wrote: Thanks Ron That does help. I watched a YouTube where they chiseled out a channel then pried it out and I read the blogs from Wally and Stella blue and Johanna rose which were helpful in removing Edson disk but saw nothing on the sleeve.

The construction drawings for my C&C 37+ show ½” Delrin bushings at the top and bottom of the rudder tube. The upper one is 4” long and it looks like the lower one is 2”-3” long. I can’t tell how they are held in place or if they could be easily replaced. I wonder if you could glue a Delrin sleeve to the inside of the pushing?

There is approximately 1-2 mm of space between sleeve and rudder post. I have removed the rudder and it appears there is a Delrin sleeve any advice would be appreciated on the fix. Thanks peter Goonie Island Portland ME
