Thanks to a lot of invaluable advise from len, on this board, I have completed the reconditioning of the lower rudder bearings on our CD27. The bearings on other Cape Dory's must be similar. len has a larger boat but I found his descriptions fit our boat exactly. I have been taking a series of photos as I work thru the job. If anyone decides to tackle the project, let me know and I can supply a series of pictures.
