Rudder Bearings for Standfast 33

So I want to haul my boat in the next couple months and do some bottom work, including replacing the rudder bearings. I am having difficulty finding a source for the bearings, and I don't have a drawing or specs for the bearings so I could go find them on my own at say Jefa Steering.

Does anyone know where I can lookup which rudder bearings my boat has?

Thanks,
Scot

Re: Rudder Bearings for Standfast 33

Dropped the rudder and pushed out the well worn poly bushes. Took them and rudder to boat savvy machine shop. Low buck, one man shop. He got correct bronze and machined out the fresh bushes on his lathe for $100 cash. While the poly bushes were well worn inside, the outside was still original diameter/shape and measurements were take from it and rudder shaft for inside bore. 3M 5200 to bed them back in, installed rudder right away to assure proper alignment. Only in for one season, they should last a long time hopefully.
