My 81 CnC34 has no seals or any evidence that there was or could be. The water-tightness depends on the Delrin or nylon washer being a flush fit to the SS surface of the fitting bolted to the cockpit floor and the nut being snugged down. I wonder if there isn't some defect or other issue with

You need to replace the seals or do as you are and cover. It’s not too hard to fix above deck seals. On Sun, May 30, 2021 at 4:01 PM John and Maryann Read via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Any thoughts on how to stop the leak where the rudder shaft comes through > the cockpit floor o

John and Maryann, I have an 81 cnc34 and have never noticed water coming in at the rudder shaft but now i will look more closely. This spring before launch i removed the nut and washer to inspect due to some movement and "groaning" in heavier weather. I put a bit of waterproof grease on washer a

Any thoughts on how to stop the leak where the rudder shaft comes through the cockpit floor on a 34? The interface of delrin washers under the nut leak if heavy rain. Am thinking of some sort of cover over the nut. Leak drips onto quadrant under floor then into bilge. TIA John and Mar
