Stef just sent me a set! They fit perfect, and took the rudder slop right out. Bargain! We also discussed the kick up rudder and I think Stef's solution makes a lot of sense. Simply, my hull (399) the kick up rudder moves ever so slightly into the stopper pin, maybe 1/8 to 1/4 inch. That translates into a tremendous amount of movement at the bottom of the rudder, enough to give noticeable weather helm. Anyway, I shimmed mine, but Stef put a flat stainless piece on top of the rudder (screwed in) to fill the gap. When I get a moment I'm going to do the same.

I figured 5 years, good to hear they last as long as you say. I have one unused one as a spare, just in case.

Never ceases to amaze me the stuff the owners have figured out on these boats.
