I don't know what to call it. This part surrounds the rudder where it comes through the deck just before it attaches to the tiller. Mine is a white fiberglass looking part screwed to the deck. Mine is all busted up. I cannot tell if it is supporting the rudder or if it is to take the play out of the rudder or if it is just decoration. Any help out there?

More problems

Now that plastic collar has broken in half and I have not found anyone who says they have the parts. I may have to try local to see if I can get it manufactured here. I really don't know even where to start to look and Hampton Roads is a marine center. Who would have that plastic and the ablility to cut to my specs?

The most excellent, ultimate, and all-around awesome source for Pearson parts is: D & R Marine 14 Water St Assonet, Ma 02702 Ph 508 644-3001 Fx 508 644-3002 Ask for Rudy. http://www.drmarine.com/ Sounds like you might need new rudder bearings; that little cowling is not structural. He can help you with that.
