Bushings for rudder pintles

 

The S2 27 list is pretty quiet. ?Here's a conversation starter.


Anyone have a source for the rudder pintle bushings? ?My rudder is getting a bit loose, particularly when sailing downwind. ?I believe that they are made of nylon (delrin?)?Thanks in advance.

This has been discussed in the past with various suggestions having been made.? I need to get some too.? Mine is kinda klunky as well.

Here's a link to previous threads.

I've never had to buy them for my S2, the boat came with a bag of 10 or so. I have bought them for other boats before. Measure up the ID of the grudgeon and the OD of the pintle you will likely find something from "Grainger" that will work. Last time i bought some I found the size i needed made by Igus in plastic and also in brass without a brand name. My local Grainger warehouse got them in stock for me in a day or two and the 4 I bought cost about $5. The brass ones looked like they where going to last longer but they felt sticky sometimes from corrosion build up.
 

Thanks, Brian. ?I'll check the archives.

That is great news, Brian ... and advice. Mine is also getting "wobbly". What was the best way to get the rudder off the back? She sure seems to be kinda heavy. I was thinking a floor jack and some wood blocks could make it easy to control let down nicely. How'd you do yours?

Thanks,
