What our service work and the manufacturer documentation say about keeping this model running.
Measure rudder stock and bushing clearance at each drydock using a feeler gauge or by lifting the rudder, and compare with the maker's limits. Check bushing retention and the liner surface condition, and keep greasing or lubrication in line with the rudder carrier design.
Keep a set of finished or machinable bushings sized to the rudder carrier and pintle bearings if the design allows, plus retention hardware. Bushings are normally ordered to drawing from the maker or its authorised machining partners.
