repacking rudder gland Printed From: CorrectCraftFan.com Category: Repairs and Maintenance Forum Name: Boat Maintenance Forum Discription: Discuss maintenance of your Correct Craft URL: http://www.CorrectCraftFan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11080 Printed Date: November-17-2024 at 12:59am Topic: repacking rudder gland Posted By: rhschnauss Subject: repacking rudder gland Date Posted: July-03-2008 at 3:02am I recently had some new packing put in rudder gland. The steering is stiff and does not return to center when I let go of the wheel. Should it hold position when you let go or should it snap back to center? ------------- rhschnauss Replies: Posted By: BuffaloBFN Date Posted: July-03-2008 at 7:14am I like mine to return to center, but I'm not sure which is correct. I just put 3/16" packing in mine(3 layers) and it turns nicely. Maybe your's got 1/4" in it? ------------- http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=2331&sort=&pagenum=12&yrstart=1986&yrend=1990" rel="nofollow - 1988 BFN-sold "It's a Livin' Thing...What a Terrible Thing to Lose" ELO Posted By: rhschnauss Date Posted: July-03-2008 at 3:43pm yep it got 1/4.
