Mine is bent, and has a bad kink at the bend. Not sure how to repair yet. May be easier to find another one.

Steering System, Hull Structure / Worn Rudder Pivot Plate - P32
« on: November 23, 2019, 04:52:28 PM »
I started a new topic in the P32 page and reposting the link here to see if other owners have had similar issues, and any tips as I go. Seems straight forward, but there may be a watch-out that someone has learned from experience. Thank you

P32 / Worn Rudder Pivot plate
« on: November 20, 2019, 06:09:54 AM »
Hello, towards the end of the season I felt a bit of play in the steering, especially down wind. I did notice a slight change in her pointing ability as well, and maybe felt a clunk when tacking.
I figured loose cables since we had done some wiring work last winter on the pedestal, where I had to loosen the cables to move the pedestal chain out of the way. But it was late in the season, and visual inspection of the cables didn’t give me any concern, so we let it go until she was out on the hard.
Now she’s out and I can move the rudder back and forth about 1/4†at the lower pivot point where the rudder pin goes through the plate at the bottom of the small skeg.
I plan to remove the plate and have the material filled in by a welder, and redrill the center pivot hole. It does not look like in need to drop the rudder to get the plate out. We will see.
Has anyone experienced this before and have any tips?
I will post pics this weekend. Thank you.
