What is wrong with the one you have? What is it made of?

Not sure.. The yard said they may need to have a new one and I should try and find one... Looks like not something you can order and will have to be made by machine shop.. Here's hoping they are wrong and the old one can be cleaned up & reused. Thanks for taking the time to offer help..

I had a bronze lower rudder gudgeon on my Pearson 28 repaired by a machine shop. The hole that the rudder shaft sit in had worn and was allowing the lower end of the shaft to flop around. I had them fill with bronze and re cut the hole. $50 later and good as new.
