RUDDER TITE BUSHING

Murrays PN 001-2284

Rudder Tite Bushing bushings are normal wear and tear parts on Hobies and they prevent slop between the rudder pins and the lower rudder castings.  They also prevent more wear on the castings as they provide a buffer between the two metal parts. 

Rudder tite bushings fit most HC rudder castings and replaces the old Hobie nyliners. Murrays sells bushings individually.  You can use 2 or 3 per rudder.

These bushings are compatible with HC 14, 16, 17,18, 21sc, as well as Nacra and Prindle rudder pins.  Also fits HC Wave and HC Getaway Pre-EZ Loc upper pintles. 

The Murrays version is made to the same spec as Hobiecat Company , but uses Delrin plastic instead of Nylon.  Delrin lasts longer and is self lubricating.

Not for use with the HC Wave / Getaway EZ Loc Rudder system. Also NOT for use with Miracle 20 rudder systems using the standard 5/16" pin size. 

Installation: They slide right into most used rudder castings, but new castings will need to be drilled out to 7/16" to install.
