Rudder post seals

I'm helping on my new best friends 2000, 42 Post.
Rudder post are seeping.
I remember somebody working on these before but my search skills are not working well rite now.

How did these work again?
Serviced how?





Can somebody point me to that old thread?

Thx

Way to go brother.
Hopefully Beau will catch a note and update us (me) on the repair.
Thx, Ralph

So Beau may be on to other venues.
Anybody else have any insight to servicing these rudder post seals?

I did send them an e-mail. I'll call next week if no response.
thx

I found them in the web site. Looks like I need to measure the shaft and get the numbers off of the old seal.
Further,, looks like the rudders have to come down also.

Looks like a spare kit is available like on propeller shafts.

In the back of my head I keep thinking;
If I designed this stuff, I would have made the hull/tube assembly's top above the water line, then a seal on top, so green water would not constantly be trying to leak in.

My note;
The above photos were also included.

Good day
Can you help us identify the required parts and instructions on servicing our rudder post seals?
Thank you for your time and thoughts
Ralph

Ralph,
When the boats were built, they used Tides marine rudder seals. If is not tides then im not exactly sure sure what kind it is.

This is real cool.
Gives me a better idea of the assembly.

Thank you for contributing to my education.

Post kids are cool !!
