Hagar, I'm interested in this Rulon bushing idea

One of the other "big" projects I need to do is figure out my sticky steering --I think it needs a new bushing at the bottom of the rudder post (where it seats in the skeg, the one I have is old and is perhaps Nylon, so is swollen and binding) and perhaps a new bearing/bushing where the rudder post passes through the hull.

Anyway --I just emailed you with a follow up question. Sounds like Rulon might be the way to go (had planned on using Delrin originally)...hope to get around to this project next summer.
