Hi, I replaced my rudder bushing with one I made from material ordered from McMaster-Carr. I cut the bushing out of the material using a sabre saw and then cleaned up the edges with a Dremel sanding drum. As I understand, only the planar surfaces are important. The material cost was $20 from which one could make a few bushings. I love McMaster-Carr almost as much as I love Wally's site(which maybe where I got the idea to order material from McMaster-Carr).
Here's the material information: Ultra-Wear-Resistant PTFE-Filled Delrin® Acetal Resin 1/8" 6" x 6" 8578K411 $19.27 See : http://www.mcmaster.com/#acetal-homopolymer-sheets/=tyawkc - Paul E. 1981 C&C Landfall 38 S/V Johanna Rose Carrabelle, FL On Sep 30, 2014, at 12:00 PM, [email protected] wrote: > Message: 1 > Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2014 12:38:54 -0400 > From: Joel Aronson <[email protected]> > To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > Subject: Stus-List Delrin top rudder bushing > Message-ID: > <CAEL16P8NJ1kfrm=9hkfmz8gd4tolkjkgcjgz5jowv3qym3k...@mail.gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > all > > I ordered a new bushing from Annapolis Plastics.
