How easy is it to replace my Ufo 34 Rudder bearing as it is been lifted out shortly?
Where can i get the bearing from?

Hi, what was the approx cost to replace your (top or bottom?) bearing including labour? Do you remember the size(s)? Looking to price up in case I’m needing to do the same. I gather the Ipswich outfit mentioned in the post have packed up. Where did you source your bearings from?
Thanks

For a wide range of bearings the above link is worth a look. A lot cheaper than having purpose made ones.
My top & bottom ones on a 31 ft boat were circa £ 100 each delivered about 4 years ago & were roller type
