Re: Stus-List Replacing top rudder bearing
Joel, A shim under the quadrant would be the best way to hold the rudder in place. Depending on how close your rudder quadrant is to the rudder tube, it may not drop much. I know access back there is horrible, but it is the best way to go. Running a line under the rudder would be my second choice. Keep it tight. The wet line is going to stretch a bit.

Re: Stus-List Replacing top rudder bearing
My retaining ring has pipe wrench marks on it too. I doubt a strap will do the trick. Good luck!

Re: Stus-List Replacing top rudder bearing
Its done!! My rudder post was not threaded, so I ran a line under the rudder. As Jake predicted, the rudder barely moved. Had to buy a pipe wrench to loosen the ring. The bearing was not in bad shape, but I feel better having the new one in place. The bonus was that it was much easier to tighten the stuffing box with the new wrench! They made up two bearings. If anyone wants the extra, let me know off list. Thanks for the advice! Blowing 23 with gust to 28. Temp in the mid 60s. Might have to go for a sail!

Re: Stus-List Replacing top rudder bearing
When I recently dropped my rudder I found the retaining ring needed serious encouragement to come off, had to put a pipe wrench to it. The strap wrench did not do it at all. Hope yours is more free than that. Apply lubrication liberally!
