Orana 44: Rudder Bushing Details?

[pstadt]

I believe the external bushing between the rudder body and the hull is wearing thin on our 2011 Orana. STBD still has plenty of hull clearance.
I don't have any details on the dimensions for this piece and am just assuming the material is Delrin.
Does anyone have detailed drawings on this assembly or know of the dimensions and material for this and the other bushings associated with the rudder assembly?
I'll put this out to Helia owners as well, as I suspect the rudders assemblies may be the same.

Thanks,

Pat

Hi Pat - Here is what I dug up last year

Should have checked your other post - looks like Cotemar already responded

Rob, I appreciate the reply anyway! I'm still looking for the details of that EXTERNAL bushing that provides the spacing between the external hull and the top of the rudder. I've ordered various thickness of Delrin sheet so when I pull the rudder, I'll have (hopefully) the right stock on hand.
I'll post an update as I do the work, in case others out there may be facing the same situation.

I just hauled early in July for a quick bottom paint - wish I had known, sorry!
