Cat 27 rudder shaft bushings

[harl]

I am going to attempt to replace my rudder shaft bushings (tiller steering)this spring and am inquiring if they are only avaliable from Catalina Direct or any other ideas. I am canadian, and find it difficult and sometimes costly to get stuff from the US. Any canadian ideas would also be welcomed.
Thanks

I get all my stuff shipped to Point Roberts, WA. Then again, I keep my boat in Point Roberts, WA.

Some Catalina 27s were produced in BC, so it stands to reason that there'd be a place around here that you could find such parts.

Hey Harl,

I've just received by rudder washers from Catalina direct. Was wondering if you replaced yours, and if you have any advice?

Thanks
