Thanks folks for all the advice on my marine head. I purchased the Wilcox Crittenden Headmate kit from wet marine so wish me luck. Plan to rebuild the pump this week-end. Next thing I'd like to update is to put in is to replace the traveller stops with some actual rigging. Anyone have any

Make sure that you check the alignment of the upper bearing connected to the cockpit floor before replacing anything! Sometimes this bearing shifts laterally and make the steering appear to be stiff. It is an easy correction to make. Bob Bob Boyer s/v Rainy Days C Landfall 38 (Hull # 230)

It's hard to imagine having to replace the rudder post sleeve, and needing a new collar. Sometimes turning the grease cup (if it has any grease left in it) will make the steering easier. If the cup is already screwed in all the way, remove it, fill it with grease and screw it back on until
