Re: Stus-List Top rudder bushing

Jake, I’m following the discussion about the rudder bearings because it’s on my list of repair items for this coming year. Right now I have the dreaded wear problem in my rudder tube (clunk!) and need to tighten it up. So my question is this: Is your’s stock and tight or did you put a bearing i
