Leaking Rudder Box

[Holdmybeer]

I did this early in the season. There is only 1 single O-ring that keeps water out and a carbon based wear sleeve. The new O-rings are slightly thicker and made from Viton. I had an extra set of hand on the outside of the boat but it only took ~2hrs from start to finish. Skiers ditched the grease fitting version in 2004-ish for this new style.

I did a write up on it and posted it somewhere.
If you go the aftermarket route the grease fitting is installed after the box is installed and you you will need de-bond to get the old 1 off.

I have an extra O-ring straight from the OEM that makes them for SC. PM me and I'll throw it in the mail.
