There's slop in my rudder. Clunk, clunk if I'm at all heavy handed. If I'm light on the helm no clunking. I've traced the problem to wear in the lower rudder gudgeon. It is the heavy bronze casting type that goes on the bottom, aft end of the keel and is secured by bronze rod that is peened over. I have obtained a replacement gudgeon and 1/4" bronze rod.
I am hoping someone out there has been down this road and can keep me on the straight and narrow.
