You need to swap the entire port (not just a "bushing") if going to the 11a, the shaft diameter is larger on the 11a.
Pete, I do not believe the 11a was ever offered on the 176. |

I had the stock bronze rudder on it and at slow speeds you have virtually no control at all. So I purchased the "SS" model and pretty much the same thing. Also on both rudders, when you make go for a turn it is slow and arching. I had a 1996 sport nautique and I could do the "bat turn" on a dime,

Kevin,
What "stock" rudder did you try? CC first used the same rudder they used on the SN and then it's my understanding they started making a SS downsized version because the 176 was out performing the SN. What performance problems are you having? |

Looking for an 11a rudder for my 176. I realize bushing will need to be replaced as well. I have tested both the stock and aftermarket Rudders designed for the 176 and neither perform well. Any help in locating an 11a would be greatly appreciated.
