Posted By: HOLESHOT Subject: rudder bushing? Date Posted: August-21-2005 at 2:59am hey has anyone removed the rudder from there cc and if so what is in there for a bushing or bearing . please help thanks ------------- IF IT HAS A SPARKPLUG I CAN FIX IT Replies: Posted By: jameski Date Posted: August-21-2005 at 10:46am There is no bushing. The rudder shaft turns in the housing. If you are wanting to tighten up excessive play, the only thing you can tighten is the packing gland, and it really won't help much. FWIW, my '78 has quite a bit of play (the bottom tip of the rudder will move back-and-forth about 3/8"), but it has NO negative effect on my steering. I used to have some problems with play in the steering, but most of it was at the clevis on the rudder arm. I took it off and bent it to remove the clearance and now my steering is perfect. ------------- current boat http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1977 - 94 Sport Nautique previous boat http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=601 - 78 Martinique Posted By: HOLESHOT Date Posted: August-23-2005 at 3:56pm jameski thanks just whated to know whats up there before i take it off to do the drive shaft bushings ------------- IF IT HAS A SPARKPLUG I CAN FIX IT
