Dave, I had similar drama with my engine six years ago. It was made worse by a cantankerous starter. I once had to have guests steer while I jumped below and shorted the starter solenoid contacts with a big screw driver to start it. (docking was similar to Jack Lemon in The Wackiest Ship In The

Dave, The 35/3 has a fiberglass tube without bearings. Just top and bottom nylon bushings. If there is play in the tube you can use epoxy to make a "bearing". The West website explains how. basically, wax the rudder shaft and pour epoxy down the rudder tube. Joel 35/3 On Thursday, August 21,
