Quote from the
2005 survey:
"The vessel has a supported
rudder attached to the aft end of the
full keel with a bottom bearing and intermediate bearing. The
rudder was fibreglass with a
bronze cap and
bronze rudder post. The rudder turned
independently of the rudder post with
some play at the connection to the rudder post at the top of the rudder and
movement of a pin which connected the metal rudder cap to the rudder post. This should be repaired by a qualified
marine technician. The rudder and bearings were sound."
We are looking at
buying this
boat, but have just learned that the owner never dealt with this finding from
his 2005
survey... What do you think? How serious is this (six years later), and what will we be looking at (ballpark) to fix it? Picture below was taken last week.
An added complication... the
boat is in
Mexico, so "qualified
marine technicians" may be at a premium...
VERY much appreciate any insights you can share!!!
