89 ts6m rudder seal

[Supranick03584]

OK, my rudder is loose, what seals it?

The O rings. Are you taking in water?

[Supranick03584]

Yes. I'm going to try to get it apart tonight. I assume it is two orings and grease? Also it turns hard to the right.

TitanTN did you really good write up on rudder repair:

Click on this link----->Repairing an older style rudder port... (https://forum.supraboats.com/showthread.php?10163-Repairing-a-older-style-rudder-port&highlight=rudder)

I had a different size O ring, but this should get you there. Are you taking your gas tank out?

[Supranick03584]

I would like to avoid tank removal, but its looking like I'm going to have to slide it out. Is there some type of bushing in the port?

[Supranick03584]

OK, got the rudder out. My tiller arm has a crack and its seal/bushing with flax packing and the port does not have a grease fitting. Is this common?

[Supranick03584]

Anyone know where I can get a new tiller arm?
