On our swan 38 there is no problem steering but when my engine is running low rev's you can hear the rudder stock vibrating. I do not know if this is the bearing and which bearing i should replace and if this can be fixed without removing the rudder stock.

Dear Lars, Thank you for that. I am planning to have the boat on the hard in end April, and will test bearings as you explain. On my passage to Gran Canaria, sailing downwind in fairly heavy seas (25 to 35 knots of wind), the steering gave a kind of squicking sound - like a door in dire need of lubrication. Do you have any idea what this might be? Turning the wheel whilst in the berth, there is a low, klicking sound. Any suggestion will be much appreciated. Kind regards, Terje. |
