575 Rudder Bearings

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   We have purchased a 2014 575 and will be pulling her out this Spring with the anticipation of crosing the Atlantic.  During the survey, they noticed some play in the rudder but did not flag it as a concern.
When we pull out we will be replacing the shaft seal, cutlass bearing and checking the rudder bearings.  The work will be completed in Turkey so we need to buy the parts in advance.  

Any recommendations on parts for the rudder bearings or should we buy the complete set as the boat is reaching 12 yrs?  Entire set from Jefa is approx €3000.

	I found the people in Jefa extremely competent and honest . why not asking them directly ? I can pm you some names if you prefer , but I am sure you can contact them directly on the website. my suggestion: dismount the cables the chains!
