I have a 1977 H 16. There is a lot of slop at the rudder casting/ rudder pin area. My pins will come out and are not worn down very much. Non adjustable rudder castings. What are my options? Is there a 7/16 inch pin available? Otherwise is in good shape for the age.

we replaced my rudder Gudgeons and pins... made a great difference in overall handling... in my opinion worth it

It takes a bit of work to put the new one piece (european models) on the old hobies like mine... you have to widen the holes in the aluminum .... and have patience...
take a look at this thread...
good luck...
