Need Bronze bushing for Mirage 26 rudder post

[Justus Sambro]

Today, Sept. 8, 2020, JustUs, our Mirage 26 slipped her mooring - mooring rope chafed through - and she sailed off into the inner Sambro Harbour. As a result, she hooked the rudder on an underwater obstruction and pulled out through the bronze rudder bushing where the rudder attaches at the transom. If anyone knows where I can find one of these I would appreciate knowing, if not, a detailed sketch would be the next best thing. Regards and Thanks, Bill

The search term you need is a gudgen or gudgeon.

If you search for that you should find a lot of options.

for example

Hello there!

I am currently dealing with a similar issue. We're you able to find a new one? Was yours one with set screws as well? If you were able to find a suitable replacement and can lend some advice I'd greatly appreciate it.

David
