This is my first post to this forum and I am about to embark on dropping the rudder to inspect for wear and play. We have a signifcant amount of water coming in. We have the grease fitting version vs. the stuffing similar version. I am interested in any tips from the group ....do's....dont's and otherwise. It would appear that the boat needs to be backed off the trailer a bit to clear the trailer brace for example... thanks in advance
