Thanks...I've got the same issues. I have SS rudder pins and they are real tough to get out. I don't want to wail on the transom with a hammer to remove them every time I sail. I think when I remove the pintles to paint I'll get in there with a drill or rat tail file as I'm sure there is some bi-metal corrosion.
Made a few trips this weekend to look for the rudder sheves with no luck. A former Prindle dealer told me that NACRA isn't selling them anymore in favor of a set of roller/spacers. That didn't make sense to me so I'll keep looking. I think Duckworks has them but I don't know the size nor have one that isn't totally chipped. I'm assuming [url]http://www.duckworksbbs.com/hardware/sheaves/s-nylon/index.htm[/url] will work even if I need spacers between them.
Pretty soon I'll start working on the rudder blades to get the bottoms touched up and remove some knicks from the leading and trailing edges.[/quote]
