My Hunter 336 is in the yard for bottom paint. Does anyone know how I can check the rudder bearings? My boat was manufactured in 1996. Thanks, Art

Easy Check
Grasp the rudder by the fore & aft and push and pull in all directions. If there is ANY play (sloppy of clunking) then it's time to change it. It like checking your cutless bearing - you look for play in the bearing area.

SOME play in mine
Hello, I have a '96 336 also and there is a little play in the rudder when tested as Paul suggests. If I want to replace the bearings: a. is this something I should be able to do myself? specials tools needed? b. are instructions available? c. and I should buy parts from Hunter-correct? thanks, Bob Pilgrim
