I now have the Edson radial wheel drive which will be used to connect the autopilot drive to the rudder shaft and also the Hydralign feathering propeller so there is almost nothing to stop me installing the rudder stock and prop shaft bearings. I say almost nothing because JBC Yacht Engineering is turning down one end of my stern tube to match the internal diameter of my Radice shaft seal.<\/p>\n

Other photos show the stern tube which I built up from 2.5 mm walls to 7 mm wall with epoxy glass and the epoxy glass housing for the lower bearing for the rudder stock. Both of these items have to be glassed into the hull. In the photo of the bearing housing you can see the Vesconite hi lube bearing already glassed in. In the space above the Vesconite I will install gland packing which will be held in place with the epoxy glass shaft follower that is almost completed.<\/p>\n
