Rubber rudder gudgeon bushings

[Mike Reyes]

Pulling the pin for the rudder tonight, one of the rubber/plastic bushings that takes up the space between the pin and the gudgeon popped off and fell into the abyss. Anyone have a part number and a good place to order these? Thanks!

This looks like it, but I thought the bore for the pin was 3/8” not 1/2”?

That looks like it’s the correct one, here’s a past post:

Ok thanks, that put me on the right track. I just needed the bushing for these and found them at Sound Boatworks for less than $12 each.

Well, after waiting a week and these still not having shipped, I went to the True Value hardware store and found some bronze bushings that fit just right and were 1/3 the cost.
