I had to dig a hole about 18" deep to drop the rudder out of my V28. It was very heavy....rudder shaft is solid stainless. It was held in by a single pin through the top of the rudder shaft and the tiller fitting (V28 had a tiller not a wheel)

That sounds pretty easy. just get the right size or a little bigger OD and bore a hole? I guess I could bring that into a machine shop... Is the rudder just held in by the pin at the top? Is the rudder very heavy?

I dropped the rudder. There are plastic insert bushings at the top and bottom end of the rudder tube that easily slide out. My son machined 2 new bushings from a piece of Delrin rod .... worked great .... problem solved Best regards, Bob Hickson, P.
