Hello, new 1969 Cal 29 owner here! Hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
I have been noticing some vertical and horizontal play in my rudder post. I went in the water to inspect and noticed a metallic sleeve encompassing the rudder post that has appeared to have dropped out of the hull and is now resting on the rudder.
Could this be the source of my problem? Are there bearings inside the rudder tube that might have gone missing?
I believe this also may be the source of a small leak.
Thank you for any help you can lend!
