vertical shaft play

sailormark45 · 09-04-2009, 07:44

While repairing my rudder stop, i have noticed a small amount of shaft play. All vertical not wobbling.. The play is very minimul, and no more than maybe a 1/8" ???? Am I am trouble here or is it ok?? Do I need a quick haul out to look further?? Thanx in advance

I think you are fine but you may want to check your quadrant to make sure it has not slipped.
