Charlie, Had to do this on Perception II our C&C 33-II. I sourced the Teflon ring and pin thru South Shore Yachts (http://southshoreyachts.com/)
The top of the rudder post has a threaded hole in it, I purchased an eye bolt that fitted the threads (3/8” I think but would need to check) used the halyard attached to the bolt to hold the rudder up while we worked on it. The pin was bent so we had to cut it to get it out tried a sawz all but a hack saw worked better. We removed the small screw that holds the pin and then tapped it out. Installed the Teflon ring, inserted the pin ( we marked it to make lining the screw hole easier) used a small awl or screw driver to align the screw hold put the screw back, and we were done. This was done in the water. Any problems getting hold of Rob at South Shore let me know – I’ll be visiting his yacht club this weekend – and usually see him when we are there. Contact me if you have any questions ….. Paul Fountain From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Charlie Normand via CnC-List Sent: Sunday, August 17, 2014 12:25 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Stus-List top rudder post washer After a beautiful sail yesterday in Narragansett Bay by Fort Adams (site of this year's NE Rendezvous - still room to sign up..), I noticed that a piece of the white teflon (?) plastic ring around the rudder post had come off. It is located under the helm seat hump and the 2 horizontal pegs that stick out from the side of the top of the rudder post ride on the ring. The ring body is about a half inch wide and about 1/8 inch thick. It is secured by screws. Any leads on: 1. where to get replacement, 2 how to replace and 3. whether this can be done without dropping the rudder? Thanks for any tips. Charlie Shadow Dancer 1987 C&C 33 MKII Jamestown, RI
