Can anyone help me to understand what a “Self adjusting PendulumRudder Stock ” comprises or means? I have not been able to find any drawings.
I have heard of 1 or 2 failures of rudder stock bearings on 10 year old Bavaria sailing boats but don’t know about the “pendulum”. In this case, a Bavaria 47 Ocean, the head of the stock is held by a locking nut on the aft deck but I am not able to see the bottom bearing assembly.
