There's no rush. It's an annoyance only. I have a tiller tamer that takes care
of the nighttime noise. It's those windless Wednesday nights following a gusty
day where the lake takes a while to settle down. With no pressure against the
rudder it flops around and bugs me. I've got larger issues t
One old trick for tightening a bushing on a shaft is to centre punch the
bushing (gudgeon) around the shaft (pintle) hole. That will spread the metal
around the shaft enough to remove minor slop. It’s not the best way to fix a
problem but will work for a while until you can do a permanent repair
Going to a machine shop is my alternative. I'll check out SSY. Thanks for the
tip. I'm guessing these were custom made at the time.
Cheers

Sounds like my '73 25 Mk1 has a similar setup to your 27 Mk 5. The upper
gudgeon casting is a single and the lower gudgeon casting is a double. On the
25 there is a single hinge rod, half-inch diameter, which passes through both
gudgeons. I had a similar clunk in my rudder whenever I was on
Have you checked with Rig-Rite, they always seem to have what I'm looking for?

Had the same problem on my Mirage 25. I curled a thin piece of stainless shim
stock around the pintle and slid it into the gudgeon. Worked fine for several
years until I sold the boat.___

It is indeed, originally a 1/2 inch diameter pin in a 1/2 inch diameter
hole. On mine, the portion on the rudder is still a nice close fit. Just
the holes in the gudgeon are enlarged. I did use some 1/2 inch shrink
tubing at one time to make up the difference. There really is not room

The setup appears to be metal on metal. I'm not sure there is much space if any
to squeeze a bushing in there.

Delrin would be better, nylon swells when wet. Any vaguely competent

Good day.
I'm noticing year after year there is more and more play in my transom hung
rudder. The 27 MkV has some pretty heavy duty hardware which I believe we're
made by Schaefer. I'd like to replace them. My web search is leading me
nowhere useful. Has anyone replaced theirs and what did you
