    Does my pintle or my gudgeon on my E39 need to be repaired?

    Pintle gudgeon question I read your post (above), and wonder how you resolved the clunking within your pintle and gudgeon. I face a similar problem on the lower gudgeon of an Ericson 30-2 that I want to purchase. Thanks....Evan Koch

    Rudder/Gudgeon problem on E 30-2
