The other option is to leave the lower castings attached to the boat and just remove the bolt that attaches the rudder to the casting for trailering. Then the rudders can be removed and you don’t need to mess with the pins.

Very true and possibly the best solution at the moment I think.
I noticed today one of the castings seems to have something like brass bushings in the gudgeon pin holes, the sticky one doesn't.
I'm focused on getting the blades sorted at the moment, servicing the castings will probably be next but my intention is to get them water worthy first and foremost, this isn't a pretty raceboat, its something for me to crash around on while I learn to be a better sailor
