I am also a new P30 owner. I may have to replace the rudder bushing, or at least adjust it because it does not appear to be properly seated. Can you tell me where you got the replacement bushing?

Miramar YC in Sheepshead Bay is less than $2k/yr., or less if you are young enough. Nice club, good people. Sheepshead Bay YC is right next door and a bit more expensive, I believe.
