Hi Sailors.
I am looking for some advice form other Yamaha owners.
I have a Y30 there is significant play in my tiller. I feel a clank when i turn the rudder.
when looking down into the aft locker I saw that the packing gland moves with the rudder.
When i start a turn first the gland twists in place then the rudder stock follows once the gland gets enough fiction.
In my mind that is not how these things should work, but I am looking for some confirmation I also see the gland wrapped in a ton of fiberglass that looks like tape.
Wondering if this is factory or old owner trying to fix it in the water? anyone able to share some pictures of their assembly ?
