Rudder bearing repair - Chichester area

[stephen_h]

I think I have some wear on my rudder bearings. Have started getting rudder vibration after fitting higher thrust props.
This is on a cat and happens to both rudders.

I am looking for recomendations for someone to have a look and possible repair once we have been lifted out later in the year.

Thanks

I'd have thought that Steve Hulme at Thornham marina would be able to do this for you.

Are you sure ? Is this under engine only, in which case it may be entirely normal with the new props generating turbulence felt by the rudders.

No, I am not sure which is why I am looking for more experienced help. It does only seem to be under motor.
I have tried moving the rudder arms and there is slight movement but not sure if it is in the shaft or the connection of the arm to the stock.
I guess once lifted I will have a better idea but I would need to drop the rudders when lifting or dig deep holes
