I used to sail on a 35 Mk.1 that used a tiller pilot as an auto pilot so we'd fit the emergency tiller then, to use the tiller pilot. It wasn't too bad to steer the boat the the emergency tiller, even with the wheel still connected. It would be hard work if yo had to do it for hours I'd think.

On my C 41, it was not necessary to drop the rudder. The yard removed the cutless bearing 1st with their special bearing press tool. Once the bearing was removed, there was enough slop to slide the 1 1/8 inch shaft past the rudder for easy removal. I replaced both the shaft and the bearing.
