OI 33 rudder packing
I have a 77 oi 33 ,the packing at the top of the rudder post is leaking,it looks like the top of rudder tube has a large round nut? that I assume threads off with a pipe wrench but i am not sure if it's that simple. also what will i get into in terms of the rudder shaft bearing if there is one, and is the packing just a flax as in the prop shaft or something else, any help would be great ,and possibly a reference to an online site that could help me. Thanks 333jim
