I want to add another possibility on this subject--the problem may simply be a
small misalignment of the upper bearing which is bolted to the deck. I had
this problem on my Landfall 38 and didn't find it until I had replaced my
rudder (thinking that it was a bent rudder shaft). The bolts on the upper
bearing can simply be loosened and the bearing moved laterally until the
resistance disappears and then the bolts retightened. It cost me a lot of
money to ultimately find this!
