To get things started....

To get things started (nobody wants an empty discussion forum), I've included a couple posts which I copied from a topic thread originally posted in the "Cape Dorys" forum by "Ahab" on April 20th, 2009 titled "rebush rudder":

Be sure to follow the links to Matt's and Stan's sites referenced in the postings below. They provide good documentation and nice photos of their rudder projects.

This was on a CD-36

My '79 CD 27 has what I consider excessive movement in the lower rudder bushing. Since it's on the trailer so I can do the bottom I may as well get everything. But before I go gouging around Id like to talk to someone who's been there done that. Thanks
