The Catalina 34, Catalina 36, Catalina 38 and C-42 rudder posts have a nominal diameter of 2.860". We must have a measurement with a caliper (digital preferred) from your rudder as there is variation from boat to boat.

1) CAUTION: All sales of this custom machined part are final. This part must be machined to fit the diameter of your boats individual rudder post. The order may not be canceled or returned after being accepted by Catalina Direct. Place your measurements (to the nearest .001 inch) in the additional comments field at checkout.

2) This part was only used on Catalina 42's built in California before early 1999. Later 42's used a different bearing assembly that does not require a separate bronze stuffing box.

5) When you order this special order item it sets off a chain of events like Willie Wonka in the chocolate factory. Once you turn the valve the chocolate is coming down the pipe. If you then decide you want caramel, the chocolate is still going to come out of the pipe. We can't put the Chocolate back in the pipe, so someone is going to have to eat it, and it's not going to be us! Your order can't be canceled, returned, or magically changed into caramel, so please order carefully the first time!
