Hey listers, Just wondering if anyone has a source and some tips for replacing the rudder bushings and/or bearings on a C&C 35 Mk1. I have replaced the bushings on my old Pearson 26, but I haven't delved into the structure or parts involved for the 35 yet. Have any of you 35 owners attempted this? Did you order the parts from Jefa?
Tango's rudder shaft is developing a little slop, I just noticed it when I was assessing where to install my rudder reference transducer. Looking down from the emergency rudder post, it appears to have 1/8-1/4" wiggle. I'll probably sail it for the next several months and keep an eye on it, and if it doesn't get worse next she's on the hard I'll replace it. If it progresses more quickly I'll replace sooner. Thanks for any info or tips! Brandon Gaspardtango 1971 C&C 35 Mk1
