[C38] things that make you go hhmmmm

[Steve Smolinske]

Max, 
 
The yard was going to secure it, as it turned out our rudder was fine
and didn't need the fix.  If you can find an industrial distributor like
a seal distributor in your area they could probably source something for
you.  Other than that I'm not sure.   
 
Steve

	Peregrine is in the boat yard as we speak for radar,
chartplotter and wind inst. I asked them to look at the rudder as we
have some play as well.  They told me that what it probably is is the
stainless post wearing away the fiberglass hole it passes through.  Easy
fix with a some teflon tube stock cut to length, inserted and
reassembled.  The tfe now acts as a bearing rather than the fiberglass
and snugs up the slop in the rudder.

	When we bought Impulse in Dec we had it surveyed,I would get
someone farmiliar with the 38 to do it next time, live and learn. The
cutlas bearing was replaced, the blisters dealt with bottom repainted
,lanched her and sailed well motored 80 miles home.Our rudder has about
3/16 play so I'm just going to ckeck it in a year or so, when we got
everything sorted out we had pulled out all old wiring that went nowhere
then started rewiring where necessary replaced 5 batteries,new
radios,gps and added a new shore power panel and rewired it with 6
breakers. a new xantrax charger a seperate isolater for the starting
battery.Re-wraped all the exhaust and put new electrical wire hangers
where necessary and just generally cleaned up the wiring , then I had
the electrician map the boat for me so I know where everything goes. The
propane line is no longer wound around the heater exhaust .. I have no
idea what someone was thinking there.Changed all hoses an belts changed
the oil twice. I'm going to sail it like it is this year , things to do
next year include replaceing all mast wireing updateing the interior
cushions and adding better rudder stops ." I love my boat "
