Rudder problems

13/05/2008 20:34

Fuga (Dehler 41DS) has just been re-launched after 6 months on the hard in Cagliari. We noticed the rudder was very stiff but assumed it would free up when in the water. No such luck! On reference to the 'book' Dehler recommend extracting the rudder, cleaning and greasing every 5 years.

Does anyone have experience of these 'pendulum' bearings, and how easy is it to extract and replace them, then get the rudder re-hung?
