Our rudder shaft leaks where it passes through the cockpit floor. There is no play in the rudder, doughnut nut is snug and everything functions normally. Am suspecting the delrin (?) thrust washer / bearing under the doughnut nut is degraded after almost 30 years. Not sure if is a thrust bearing with flange or just a washer. Before I start disassembling any thoughts from the group? Also, any suggestions on where to obtain a replacement?
