Does anyone know the size of the rudder bushings and where I might find them? Getting a good bit of play in the rudder.

Size: drop the rudder, remove the bearings and measure.

Where to buy: do an internet search on "sailboat rudder bearings". Tides Marine and Jefa are some suppliers.

I think they are plastic bushings so measurements of a worn plastic bushing might not be the best idea.

Start by measuring the rudder stock. At the end of day consult with your bearing supplier(s) on the dimensions required for sizing new bearings.
