How We Repaired Our Steering System (Jamie Went Home) Sailboat Ep 372
The first sign of trouble is when they notice that the rudder is hard to move. After some investigation, they determine that the problem lies with old, dirty grease in the rudder and a mismatched bronze hole and pintle.
To fix this issue, the team replaces the steering cable and conduit, making sure to inspect for any dirt or debris. They also decide to bore the bronze hole to create a better fit between the rudder and its stock.

We've been blogging, vlogging and podcasting about living on our boat since 2005. If you love travel, sailing, fishing, diving and photography this might be the channel for you... Each week we post a 15-20 minute snapshot of what we did. It might cover anything from sailing, travelling, meeting people, fishing, cooking, shopping in exotic markets or hanging out on a tropical beach, to boat maintenance (there's a lot of that when you live on a boat) and tackling challenges or bureaucratic conundrums. There's also a fair bit of photography and diving. Even though the world continues to throw spanners at us, we love being perpetual travellers. And we've never regretted making the big leap into this alternative lifestyle for even a nanosecond. If we make you laugh or inspire you, then these videos haven't been a total waste of time. Pop round to the pub and share a drink with us... https://followtheboat.com/pub/ Jamie and Liz xx
