LM 32 rudder bearing replacement

[chrismunson]

I am in the midst of a 3 year overhaul of my 1984 LM 32, and would like to know the manufacturer of the upper and lower rudder shaft bearings. Has anyone performed a replacement of these? Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Chris
Have you thought of enquiring with a local Marine Engineering business that has a facility for 'turning up' some bearings in the correct material (fairly standard).
I assume it has a similar bearing set up to that of a 27.
My local M Engineers did the job for pennies for my boat.
