Hi All, According to the surveyor, my rudder has too much play in it. He said he thinks it might be the plastic tube that the bearings ride on. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Rob

The H340 uses a bellcrank system. No cables.
Rob, I'd first ask your surveyor how much play is too much, and what play is he measuring on your rudder. Then ask here again.
Here's the owner's manual pages on the rudder H340 rudder and bearings.

Is the play shaft movement in the bearings or is it linkage or rack and pinion play further up the system?
Depending it could be bearing issues, shaft gouging or an adjustment on the rack and pinion gear.
I saw they had a replacement rudder with stainless shaft for around $3500 earlier if needed.
