Stus-List Rudder woes

Good morning all. I have a quick question for all y'all. Does anyone know the size of the bolt hole in the top of a 39 LF rudder, or whether it is metric or SAE? The hardware store is several miles away. I'm in the process of dropping my for much needed repairs. Thanks in advance Doug Douglas

Stus-List rudder grease fittings

My 1989 34R had delrin bearings and back in 2004, I fixed the slight bit of play and hum by dropping the rudder, drilling the shaftlog and installing zerk fittings. I grease these bearings using a food grade synthetic grease. Major improvement and has worked for twenty plus years. Chuck S

Stus-List Rudder issues

Good morning everyone! Happy New Year! I've spent the last 2 weeks totally sanding Nina's bottom down to the gel coat in prep for a new paint job using The Black Widow from Pettit. I came across some issues with the rudder yesterday and was wondering if any of you have fixed similar. After

Stus-List Rudder shaft play

In the case of Kaylarah ('90 C 37+) which should be the same design, the rudder hangs on two ball bearings on a transverse shaft that sit on top of a round metal bearing plate on top of the deck. The only thing that restricts upward motion is a Delrin shim washer that sits between the top of the

Our rudder has a 3/4" thick delrin washer that sits on the rudder shaft above the blade and under the hull. The weight of the rudder is supported by a set of rollers on a shaft that goes through the rudder shaft above the deck. There is also a metal wearing ring that the rollers ride on. I
