So it was the bushing and the article did help. I wasn't sure what to get so I have a thin, a medium and a thick bushing "in stock" should anyone be in need - let me know! - bll

Yup, must copy entire link if you want it to work..... operator error! So this isn't stiff and it has dropped down so I am guessing the bushing(s) have worn out and/or cracked. I plan to take it apart in the next week or so so if i need to replace the bushing(s) any idea on where I can get them?

Try the link again because it works. Perhaps you didn't copy it all before you tried it?

Thanks Bill, as always generous with the info. I tried to follow the link but it gave me an error. The UHMW bushings, where can I obtain them? Let me know and thanks again! - bill

Have a look here Bill

Spring is almost here and as I began cleaning the bottom I noticed the rudder seemed to have "slipped", there was maybe 1/8" of shiny metal showing where I had never seen shiny before and I could push the rudder up so I am guessing a gasket or something has decided to not sail another season. Suggestions on repair? Thanks, - bill
