Just replaced the bottom rudder bearing with a delrin flanged bushing. Had to machine the wear marks off the top of the rudder strut casting, ream the bushing .003 oversize and it assembled with a precise fit. Installed a 316 SS 1" washer as a wear plate. So smooth...
Note new cutlass bearing housing.
