We wanted to increase our rudder shaft diameter. This meant that our previous bushing design did not work due to size constraints and necessitated a new design which had to be underneath the hull. I worked on designing this new system which involved a bronze sleeve on our shaft which interfaces with a delrin bushing.

OVERVIEW
This bushing system was re-designed to necessitate a rudder shaft diameter change. It was designed to fit underneath our hull and continue to support the forces on our rudder, while allowing easy rudder control.
