Alex:
I made a bearing for the top from a thicker piece of delrin using the
original bearing as a pattern. It has worked very well for many
thousands of miles.
Originally my rudder tube had two bolts on opposite sides of the tube. I
replaced one with a grease nipple to which I have permanently connected
a grease gun. About every 24 hours of sailing I inject about four full
pumps of waterproof grease into the tube. I like how this effects the
helm - sensitive and easy to turn the wheel.
