Rudder Help for my Chrysler 26'

Post by michigansailor »

Hey Guys, I am rebuilding my 26' Chrysler and need a new rudder shaft bearing for my boat. I took my rudder apart and found that mine is broken and has been repaired once already. I am not sure if anyone knows where I could get one or how to make something that will fit.

Thanks I would love to get it fixed so I could put it in the water this summer.

Thanks Michigan Sailor

thanks for identifying a supplier of parts (Ruddercraft). As a suggestion, would it be possible to have a section that identifies suppliers of parts that can be used on Chrysler boats? thanks

Good Sugggestion - and as it turns out there is a section for it under "Resources" under the main page at

Its mainly vendors members have dealt with since there are minimal places that still stock the OEM parts...
