So I have never pulled and replaced a through hull rudder shaft on anything and I get to start on a 28' 1977 carver santa cruz with a vertical through hull rudder... and so I need to know a few things such as do these rudder shafts disconnect from the control point just above the packing disk at the top of the rudder shaft and then drop out through the bottom or do I need to remove the blade from the rudder shaft and then pull it up through the packing box after disconnecting it from the shaft head? Also can I expect this Rudder shaft to be a solid piece of ss round stock or will it be a piece of thick wall ss tube that I'm working with?
