Rudder support

How to get the rudder off? At the top on the quadrant it's easy to see, but at the bottom it's supported on a brass bush and there is not obvious way to remove it.

Eventually we call Steph, the previous owner of King Malu, and find there are two bolts embedded in the brass bush that are totally hidded, being covered with some sort of putty. So we remove the putty, remove the bolts and hey presto... the rudder comes off!

Of course, nothing is ever that simple and we discover that one of the bolts has sheered off inside the rudder support, so we will have to dig it out, refill and re-tap the hole before refitting. Also found the plastic bush in which the rudder moves has worn totally so will need replacing. Oh well, this is what maintenance is all about!
