Jake, I’m following the discussion about the rudder bearings because it’s on my list of repair items for this coming year. Right now I have the dreaded wear problem in my rudder tube (clunk!) and need to tighten it up. So my question is this: Is your’s stock and tight or did you put a bearing in? My sense is that a bearing will not work with our style rudders but I was interested in the link to the Jefa bearing. A friend of mine here had to redo the rudder bearings in his J40 and the Jefa bearings were the go-to choice.
Just curious on yours and other lister’s experiences.
