   Thanks,

I put 4 3/16 rings of the gortex, it seems to loose to me rudder turns with no pressure at all and has about a 1/16 of slop, I will try tightening some more but it is pretty tight. On another subject the ARE shaft does not come with a slip ring is it not needed. I am not sure what it is really called but it when around the other shaft and tightened with a set.  One more the new props seem so thin I was worried about the reinstallation using the old board trick, Would it be better to use two people on the ARE and get both nuts tight at once. 

Mike

	Mike, Just "cram the rings in there!! The more the better but do leave yourself some room for adjustment. Don't worry about getting it to tight as mentioned earlier - the rudder port is not constantly rotating!!

	Going to reinstall rudder and repack. Man I need a tutorial. I took it apart 9 months ago and am a little turned around on zeroing out the steering and which way is the best for reinstall. I was also able to get a machine shop to straighten rudder. Existing packing had 5 rings in it I can remember my 83 taking that many.? Thanks Mike
