Update!
Good day,
After a long, enforced break, I was able to devote again a few weeks
to my Myra 21. Finally I took her for the first test drive to our
local water. Overall, it was a pleasant experience without any serious
problems. The 3YM20 ran smoothly, no wonder with 125 hours of
operation. The selfmade galley proved to be very useful. My only
concerns were with the tiller.
Perhaps you can give me some advice? Someone recently attached a piece
of garden hose with a pipe clamp under the tiller bracket. Perhaps to
prevent water from entering, or to raise the rudder post? My question:
Was there a bearing under the tiller bracket? The same question arises
regarding the pins on the rudder itself. Were there bearings or
washers there? The rudder is quite hard to move with the steering
cable removed. What's the easiest way to dissemble the rudder? The
tiller bracket is held in place by a bolt. What kind of maintenance do you recommend? Photos attached.
Cheers
Martin
