I haven’t pulled it apart yet, but my rudder has some side to side play. I’m curious if there is a bushing that can be replaced on these or if I need to buy a new rudder port? Hopefully someone has rebuilt one.

No play is best but I have sailed on some Santana 22's on the bay where there was 1/2 " or more of play. I would guess it is not emergent but would be good to take off the rudder and redo the bearings at some point.
I’m just curious what is in there. I have yet to remove it. I can shake the rudder around and the steering wheel shakes violently when pulling someone out of the water. Once the boat is on plane the vibration is gone. I don’t know how serviceable the rudder box is on this generation.
