Should be the same for most C&C's I just replaced my rudder after work
last week. Takes about an hour if everything is free.
Here's the steps:
- remove steering cables from quadrant
- remove quadrant 4 bolts on either side of the shaft and 2 little bolts
holding the thing together
- remember to catch the key from the shaft when you take the quadrant off.
- Have someone hold onto the rudder
- Remove donut at top of rudder post. Should be 2 set screws or a bolt
that goes straight through
- Rudder drops out.
If things are not free...ie the stainless steel bolts have welded
themselves to the quadrant...then the only option is to
grind the thing off. Not much fun. I had to do that to my quadrant and
donut the 1st time I removed my rudder. Took better
part of a day to get through the quadrant and an hour or so to get
through the donut (amaizing how much have a bit of space makes life easier.
Replacement parts are available at Edson and
https://southshoreyachts.com/ Albeit shouldn't be too hard to
re-manufacture a stainless steel donut.
My C&C 30 I can do this with the boat on the cradle as there is enough
room to get it out completely. My cradle is on 6X6 skids...but it shouldn't
matter.
Cheers,
