We've finally gotten our boat ready and sailed it a few times in Galveston bay. It sails great, tosses us around a bit in choppy water, and goes fast. The problem we face right now is the rudder klunking in its mount. Has anyone found a way to eliminate that slack in the mount?
I got new bushings, little plastic ones that I had to trim down to install, but I couldn't get the bottom one in place because the pivot pin was a tad too short to insert the bushing and still get the cotter pin in place.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
