[Rhodes22-list] Teflon Strips and Slop

[salm at mn.rr.com]

Ed,

It's daylight and I've been drinking coffee.  8-)  Yes, there's some
side-to-side slop in the rudder within the housing.  
I've tried tightening the bolts.  I think the strips would elliminate the
slop but not make it bind raising and lowering.  
The same goes for the center board--there's some slop there too.  Going
downwind, you can hear it thumping back 
and forth when the boat yaws.  I Also hear it when at anchor if it's wavey.
That part is not really a problem because 
the noise just reminds me to pull the board up when I'm going downwind or
at anchor, but the slop in the rudder 
has always bothered me.

Slim:
      What have you been drinking?  Slop in the rudder?  Detailed
explaination please.  Have you considered a washer and to tighten bolts? 
Originally this discussion had to do with raiseng and lowering 
the centerboard and using teflon to make it slippery.  Now we are slip
slopping away.
