Hello, I m Corky Scott, have a 68. 39'7" c&c with a locked up rudder bearing made of bronze. Having to cut the bearing away to remove rudder so I can replace it. Would love to see how you are installing your rudder works and what type of bearing you are using. Please send pics if you can. Thanks CS
