Hi All,
I am a very seasoned sailor, just went from a Bristol Corsair 24 to buying an 1984 Ericson 26-2 sailboat. Great boat but I think the last owner might have lost some of the bushings or a gasket or something because the tiller has about n inch or less of play up and down. When I inspect underneath it appear that there was once a plastic or some other material bushing that kept the top of the rudder from rubbing on the bottom of the hull and maybe a gasket at the base of the tiller. It shouldn't have this much play in it. Can anyone assist and let me know how to fix, where to buy these parts?
Many thanks
