Rudder Bearing Replacement -- Labor to: measure rudder tube,
bearings, rudder shaft, send information to bearing manufacturer and
owner. Order two new bearings and one thrust bearing washer. Prep
interior surface of rudder tube in worn areas, then apply 3 coats of
Pettit Protect (2 part epoxy paint) to make rudder tube smaller and
fit new bearing snug. Fill/ fair bottom edge of bearing flange for
smooth finish surface. Install new bearings with thickened epoxy
(from bottom and top), and fit rudder shaft into place. Align Rudder
with trailing edge of keel prior to epoxy hardening. Reassemble
rudder quadrant and tension steering cables.

Color Restoring & Waxing Hull -- Labor to: tape off bottom
paint, and preform an efficient process of applying compound and
power buff/ wax topsides of the hull. Hand wipe to remove excess wax
and remove tape.?

Dave,
Did Tides make your new ones?

1. My yard epoxied the bearings in but I share Roger's
concern about if they ever have to come out again.? Except,
at my age for better or worse, not likely my problem.?
Sailing in deep Maine waters, not a lot of sediment get
kicked up.? Yard said they were installed with a
parsimonious amount of 5200.? The bottom one had come loose
(crossing Gulf of Maine to Nova Scotia of course), that's
what alerted me to problem.
I believe my boat spent some of its early life in dirty
water (
. . .. .oh Boston your my home).? Damage photo
below.
2. I would check with Tides on the fit.? Mine were not
tight.

Barry,

are the specs for the bearing.? I got this from Glen
Chaplin at Sabre.? The photos I referred to are the ones
Dave Short sent.? As you saw in Dave's photos, the lower
bearing is mounted flush with the hull, and was epoxied
in.? Tides Marine, who made my bearings (and I believe
also made the originals) also said to epoxy them in.?
However, my original ones were installed with 5200, which
is what Glen also said for the replacements.? My
inclination is to use 5200, as once epoxied I don't think
they could be removed without damage to the hull tube.?
?
As
noted in my prior post on the topic, I am having an issue
with the bearings being really tight on the rudder post.?
Yesterday I sanded the rudder post to ensure it was
perfectly smooth, and although I could get the bearings on
by warming them slightly, once they cooled to the ambient
temp (mid 40s here on the MA south coast) they became so
tight I could not turn them by hand.? I'm still trying to
figure out what to do.
