Hello,
I'm looking to replace the rudder bearing on my 1990 Beneteau 35s5 tall rig fin keel. Does anyone have a schematic? I think the rudder will come out without digging a hole. Trying to get this done the easiest way possible. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Theone

Did my 351 which shares hull with 35s7 and I would believe you would have to dig a hole /trench. My boat sits in a cradle with the cradle suppported by 8 inch feet for hydraulic trailer pickup and movement. I had to dig about an 6 inch deep trench by 2 ft long x 6 inch wide to drop rudder and swing it out. And you can see how far my rudder is off the ground
