Beneteau First 47.7 Napoli
For some strange reason my rudder seemd to have a significant ammount of movement. Not sideways but forwards and backwards. It seems that since there is no movement at the top where thr pin is, the only other reason would be that i have a problem with the packing below water (correct?).
This needs to be done on land (correct?). If someone of you has had this or a similar experiance, i woud ask:
Can it be done whilst the boat is in the cradle, or does it take lond due to the drying or other reasons?
Anything i should be partucularly aware of?
Thank you.
