John and Maryann,
I have an 81 cnc34 and have never noticed water coming in at the rudder shaft 
but now i will look more closely. This spring before launch i removed the nut 
and washer to inspect due to some movement and "groaning" in heavier weather. I 
put a bit of waterproof grease on washer and put back together. A little grease 
might resolve your leak issue. Man does the steering glide like silk now! No 
groans either.

Rain water coming down – should have been more explicit.  No issue of sea water 
coming up

Any thoughts on how to stop the leak where the rudder shaft comes through the 
cockpit floor on a 34?  The interface of delrin washers under the nut leak if 
heavy rain.  Am thinking of some sort of cover over the nut.  Leak drips onto 
quadrant under floor then into bilge.



TIA
