Re: Stus-List Lower rudder bearing C ii

[Bruno Lachance via CnC-List]

Mike,

I also own a 33 mk II and i have dropped my rudder before. How much play is too 
much depends of you, for me more than 1/4 would be bothering. The bottom sleeve 
bearing is not bronze, and there is also  Delrin spacer there sitting on top of 
the rudder.

There is no "seal". I suspect the top of the type to be over the water line and 
the grease makes for the seal. I have a grease port on mine and I never had any 
water ingress from there.

My rudder was still tight and the sleeve bearing seemed in good condition with 
no scratch so I did not replaced it. It is a tight fit and I guess it must be 
hard to remove.

I did have a bit of play, but I have replaced the top Delrin friction ring ( 
made by Polyalto, Qc), quite expensive, very exact measurement, you don't need 
that but I did not know another supplier). This piece was worn as the SS pin 
itself that even had a flat worn surface, I had flipped the pin before it was a 
little tiny bit loose in the rudder post hole and wanted it to look nice and 
new so I had a machine shop turn a new oneto fit the hole perfectly. I also had 
the plastic ring made a bit thicker. With these new parts, a clean tube and new 
grease I now have a tight and buttery smooth rudder.

While I was at it I also checked my quadrant, cleaned it and replaced my 
steering cables, chain, brake, etc... with the Edson rebuild kit.

I' very happy I did this, smooth steering is nice and I know I can thrust my 
steering system.

Good luck.

Hi folks. I have noticed a bit of play in my rudder, probably ¼” to 3/8” 
deflection at the very bottom.  I am contemplating dropping the rudder for a 
closer inspection and possible bearing replacement.
I have removed the top bearing (easy) and found that it has a Delrin (probably) 
bushing  2 3/8” i.d. x  2 ¾” o.d.  That bushing  has some wear and is easily 
replaceable.
A  few questions:

1.   How much play is too much?

2.   Is the bottom bearing Delrin or Bronze?

3.   Is there a water seal above the bottom bearing?

4.   Does anyone have a source for new bearings?

5.   Does anyone have photos or write up of repairs (on any size c )

All suggestions greatly appreciated.
