I suspect it's a bit on the light side (but it had survived 25 years of sailing beforehand without trouble).<br /><br />Thankfully a 1 day repair job that somebodey else is doing, and a 20 minutes to re-install makes it easier to take!Diane, Evan, Maia and Charlie the cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607359149594812176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359919.post-23769666769562438702011-03-31T13:01:50.599-07:002011-03-31T13:01:50.599-07:00ouch!

I'm just building my rudders now and if it's the same stuff I have for my woods boat...schedule 160 stainless steel pipe, it's sooo heavy and thick. I'd be happy it didn't do damage to the place the lower bearings are attached to the boat. That could've been a lot more ugly. Good luck with the repair!Jeffhttp://zambonidriver.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359919.post-60387248352333473372011-03-31T12:56:33.747-07:002011-03-31T12:56:33.747-07:00How lucky you are to figure this out here on the m...How lucky you are to figure this out here on the mainand my dear.
