As best I can tell, the rusty mild steel frames attached to the rudder ports are for the purpose of supporting the rudder assembly vertically. Is there an alternate method of doing this? I was thinking of placing a PVC sleeve between the bottom of the tiller arm and a SS washer sitting on top of the spud nut.
From the outside there's a little play in the rudders, but I don't know what's considered to be acceptable. Assuming the SS rudder stocks aren't worn, is replacing the port the only solution to eliminating this play?
