I'd like to drop the rudder on my 29 mkII after it's hauled this fall. Any
advise or things to watch out for? Removing the steering quadrant is pretty
straight forward as long as the bolts aren't frozen. I'm not sure about what
is going on at the upper and of the rudder shaft at the cockpit sole. I
looks like there is possibly a bearing just beneath the fitting where the
emergency tiller attaches. Has anyone been there?

I was about to say exactly what Rick said, based on 18 years of experience with 
my 25 mk1. The rudder for the MK2 might be different, but I have my doubts.

 

I read the Sailing Anarchy thread, and I have to comment that the only 
contributor who knew anything about the C&C 25 was the Owner – and he didn’t 
seem to know much.  He comments about the weaknesses of the boat, for example 
commenting on the need to replace the mast step. I actually bent the jib crane 
at my old club in Philly when unstepping the mast – seems one of my helpers had 
neglected to pull the pin in the step and the jib crane was trying to pick the 
whole boat up by the sling around the mast.

 

My 25 is built like a tank. Which is why it is so much heavier than a J/24. I 
once had a port/starboard collision when I was trying to duck a J/30. The 
damage to the J was more than twice what I paid for Belle (Heck, the teak toe 
rail was half the price I paid for the C&C 25.), and all the damage I had was 
some blue paint that I took off the gelcoat with a 3M scrubby pad.

 

After 37 years, I have a little wiggle in my rudder. One of these days I need 
to get around to putting some bushings into the pintles and gudgeons to 
compensate for years of wear and herd use.. There is definitely no flex in the 
rudder itself.
