I suggest starting there. If Rob doesn’t have one, he may be able to suggest
an alternate source.

Hi all; Bill is the winner for long distance diagnosing...; there is a chrome
"collar" or "nut' which is threaded and the the top of the rudder post which is
also threaded; the collar is tightened down over the rudder post and sits on a
delrin "washer" which is about 1/8 inch thick. There are two set screws in the
collar to keep it tight n the rudder post. The rudder pivots on this assembly
when steering the boat.
In my case, these set screws apparently loosened up to allow the collar to
loosen which caused play in the rudder post. The result was to strip the
threads on the collar allowing the rudder to drop. The fix is to get a new
collar, which I hope someone here can help my in identifying; there are no
markings or part numbers on the collar. Of course, I have lots of photos.
For a quick fix, we were able to invert the collar and use the remaining
threads ( about 1/2" to 5/8") to hold the rudder in place. I am confident that
this will work until I can identify and order the new collar.
So it seems I have been lucky and my situation fits under Mike Hoyt's "good
case" scenario rather than the whole assembly failing, which is the "bad case"
scenario. I feel a lot better than I did 24 hours ago, but will report back
on progress. I would have thought the C&C used the same assembly for all of
the rudders regardless of the model of the boat, but maybe not...;
If anyone ha any experience or suggestions in locating the "collar, please send
them on...Thank you to everyone!

I thought there was a nut on the top of the post. If so, it may have come off
and it slipped down till the quadrant hit the hull. Obviously you are going to
have to go down an look, and all things shall be revealed unto you

Hi all; I am in need the collective wisdom of the group for a rudder issue; my
boat (1985 C&C 37 CB) has been sitting on a trailer since early September for
repairs to the hull, not rudder related; sometime in the past week the rudder
has dropped a full two plus inches and no one knows how this happened; the hull
has been painted and the painters said they moved the rudder by moving the
steering wheel and had no issues; does anyone have any ideas or suggests about
what could have occurred? and more importantly, what needs to be done to make
the rudder usable?
We were hoping to relaunch in the next week or so...I'll be happy to provide
more information if anyone has questions...Thanks!
