Mike, I know I am getting distracted from the original question, but I have to ask –
Around the eighth picture from the bottom, there is a shot of some weld on a rudder shaft – it is obviously aluminum TIG weld, but the shaft looks like stainless, I have never heard of an aluminum rudder post on these boats. And it looks like it really toasted the fiberglass – do you know if your shaft is Aluminum?

We also had some wear on the post just above the rudder that made it slightly out of round and induced fore / aft play. Phil may be able to comment on how he took the measurements and manufactured the bushings and the product/process he used to build up the post and return it to its original specifications. The Frers 33 is very similar to C&C33-2 and of the same vintage so the process and products would be very similar Persistence rudder is back in the boat and steering connected and play is gone.

When ours gave up (split) I got one from SouthShore that was a good fit, had to get the pin also as the old one was bent before we bought Perception. Going to be time for another soon I am sure ... so interested in what you find. -----Original Message----- From: Dave S via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Sent: March 29, 2021 9:16 PM To: C&c Stus List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Cc: Dave S <syerd...@gmail.com> Subject: Stus-List Rudder post bearing for 33ii So, Mike and me was talkin’..... Both our boats have had the rudder post bearing replaced - I was fortunate to have an almost intact original and was able to fabricate a pretty good replacement - mike was not so lucky and has a serviceable but temporary solution in play. I would like to create (really, have someone more digitally capable create) an accurate drawing and maybe make up a few of these. My original is broken into two segments and is therefore not the best choice as a pattern. It is very hard to measure this accurately with the rudder post installed. Does have a drawing or any thoughts about creating one? This would be shared amongst the collective of course!
