Stus-List Re: Leaking rudder shaft
My 81 CnC34 has no seals or any evidence that there was or could be. The water-tightness depends on the Delrin or nylon washer being a flush fit to the SS surface of the fitting bolted to the cockpit floor and the nut being snugged down. I wonder if there isn't some defect or other issue with the area around the rudder post or maybe the water is coming in at the stern somewhere, running down the inside, hitting the rudder post and then on down? I can't imagine much detectable water getting in at the nut if the washer is flush.

You need to replace the seals or do as you are and cover. It’s not too hard to fix above deck seals.

John and Maryann, I have an 81 cnc34 and have never noticed water coming in at the rudder shaft but now i will look more closely. This spring before launch i removed the nut and washer to inspect due to some movement and "groaning" in heavier weather. I put a bit of waterproof grease on washer and put back together. A little grease might resolve your leak issue. Man does the steering glide like silk now! No groans either.
