I just had the rudder dropped to have the shaft shortened and a new cutlass bearing installed, so the steering cables/quadrant are already removed.
The bronze steering cable sheaves (that turn the cable 90 degrees from the pedestal to the quadrant) seem a little wobbly, so I want to change out the bearings.
Bearing seems to be about .561" OD and .435" ID and 1/2" wide, but I don't know what the original ID would have been. Has anyone replaced these, and where did you get the bearings? Sheave dia is 4" with an Edson Steering Column.
