Subject: Rudder Bearing Question
Info: (21212 views) Posted: Tuesday 4-17-07 08:09:02 AM
I own #93 in Michigan.

I noticed that the lower bearing is loose in the 'pocket'. Both bearings appear to be good on the rudder post (no slop).

Do you think I could just lower the rudder, drop the lower bearing, put some 5100 (or silicone?) around the bearing O.D., then just push the bearing tightly back in with the rudder and replace the collar?

Would that seem to be an adequate procedure?

Bob
