I finally got around to checking my rudder post from the cockpit
locker and discovered a very different situation than described in
previous emails. On my boat (“Pelagic”,Hull # 122, 1991) there is a
glassed in tower that contains the rudder post which ends about 6
inches above the water line. Except for two grease nipples, one at
the top and one at the bottom of this tower, there are no other
entries to the tower. I am wondering if this model has a different
configuration than the earlier hull numbers cited in the emails? The
looseness seems somewhat improved by greasing.
