Hi all,
My cams definitely need to be replaced, but I have questions about the rudder casting that holds the cams.
What should the clearance be between the cams and the casting (both to the side and above). From these pictures you can see that there is probably 5mm (3/16") gap between casting and the cam when pushed to one side. Additionally, it looks like there is not enough clearance between the top of the cam and the casting - note how chewed up the cam is.
Solutions - is one needed for the horizontal play? Washers? For the top of the casting, would a file work to smooth it down and hopefully stop the gouging of the cam?
