I have a 1986 H14 that I picked up as a sailable project last season. I have been fixing and upgrading as I have fun with the boat and it is nearly exactly where I want it (for now LOL). Most recently I did a rudder job, cams, bushings, stiffening kit, toe adjustment, etc. While I was doing the work, I discovered something that I hadn't noticed before. My boat has the adjustable upper casting on the starboard rudder but the non-adjustable one on the port. As a result, my port rudder does not remain butted against the lower casting as it should and has maybe about a half inch of play.
Of course, having just reworked my rudders, this is driving me nuts and I want it fixed. I started shopping for an adjustable upper casting and all I can find are the brand new ones for $262. Can anyone help me out and point me to a source for a reasonably priced used one? When I say reasonably priced, I'm thinking about the pricing that I have seen on similar parts like lower castings for $50 and such.
