Eric, That is a Delton or some other material spacer which acts as
bushing to protect top of rudder shaft tube. No problem but looks like you
might want to replace. They wear. Hope to see you in Pentwater this summer.

Rudder collar "donut" removal
After looking at the rudder post coming up through the cockpit floor today, I
think I confused the donut with what is broken on Cat’s Paw. It appears
thatwhat is broken is below the donut that is being discussed. It’s right down
on the cockpit floor. What is it and what should I do about it? Looks like the
infamous donut would have to be removed to replace it. Picture is
