Found a lot of water in my bilge after a 4 hour run to get hauled out for Dorian. quite sure it is coming from the stbd. rudder post. Removed the "box" floor to get an eye on the packing nuts and found a configuration i wasn't expecting. Got out my 1 inch pile of blueprints and had prints for shafts and props but nothing about the rudders. I assume the bolts and nuts on each side of the sleeve are used to tighten down on the packing? Anyone have any experience with this style? I was expecting to find a locking type of configuration. I'll try to attach a pic.
Thanks!
