Hi everyone.

Has anyone had experience changing the lower rudder bushing from the brass one to something else such as Acetal or other solution?

The issue for me is I replaced the brass bushing 2 seasons ago and its already worn down significantly. I dont really want to be changing it every season and the wear rate seems excessive.

Open to ideas/thoughts.

Thanks

Hi Mark

I replaced the bearings to ones from acetal.
Now the rudder is a little bit hard, but I think, this will improve with use.

Kind regards
