[C320-list] Dropping Rudder

[Robert Perrin]

Hello Steve,

You do not need to drop the rudder to replace
the cutless bearing, but you do need to remove
the prop.

You can make up an inexpensive tool from
four threaded rods, eight nuts, two steel plates,
a suitable length of slit steel pipe and two 
jubilee clips.

IIRC, the details are in the list archive or at
www.catalina320.com/

I did the job in 2004 without a problem
