Rob: I have the drawings for the J-30 stern rail with light plate & wired, stem fitting, large gudgeon pin, small gudgeon pin, upper & lower pintle, rudder gudgeon, tiller straps, chain plates, stanchions & bases and we have made numerous bow rails. If you have any questions let me know, thanks Greg.

Gregg,
Do you have a listing of J/30 replacement parts that you can supply? The entire fleet is 25+ years old and things are wearing out.

Rob, I could not determine Gregs e mail so I am sending this to you. I need a drawing for the 1" Gudgeon pin for the rudder. Can you provide that to me or indicate Greg's e mail address? My e mail is sailingfast@charter.net Thanks

I have tried to get a Gudgeon Pin 1" ( part number RR81 78P) from RigRite for three years but they seem to need more orders. If anyone needs this plart please order now to get the quantity up so they will make them. Thanks, Dave

I just refitted the entire rudder mount. Four hours for the machinist and some hard work and some 3-M 4200. A prop repair shop should at least be able to supply a chunk of used prop shaft and a machinist can bore the gudgens and make new pins. Have them made a little loose to make up for the misalignment that will occur. I'm sure it was cheaper than buying new and I know that the job was done right.

I only have Gregg's phone number 800-414-2801, email is unknown. I'll email you a drawing I have of the pin. Meanwhile I also sent the drawing to the forum Webmaster for posting.

pieces of 1 in used prop shaft.
Now how hard can that be???
weld a piece of 1/8 in. stock to the top and drill a hole.

Actually grab a couple of feet of that shaft and you can use it to line up the Gudgens if you ever have to patch the transom and remount them

my kind of J30 owner.

I have confirmed the change and updated the J/30 Equipment Suppliers page with the information, and pasted it below.

See Revised Drawings at this post below

A friend who races with Espo on the J/29 Hustler was looking for rudder hardware drawings. He was unable to find them and decided to reverse engineer and draw his own. I've attached 3 files. I'd appreciate if folks would look these over and comment on them. They could be a great resource for someone looking to get replacement hardware.

If you click on the pictures below, you can download a printable pdf file for each drawing.
