Greg, 

This entire thread began about two months ago when I believe it was Peter McEvoy  completely lost steerage while sailing in San Francisco Bay. He had to be towed in to port. U pon examination the rudder shoe was missing and I believe part of the center hinge. So he didn't have the parts to repair. That is when he made the inquiry about spare parts for his boat.

I am starting to think I am missing something about rudder shoes. Having only owned #114 for three years maybe longer term owners can enlighten me as to why I would want a spare one, as so many of you have signed up for. Last winter I found that there was some wear in the pivot hole, so I bored it out and put in an oil-filled sintered bronze bushing, about a $5 item at MSC. 
Now there's no slop. When that wears out I figure I can do it again. I also replaced the hex and flat head machine screws that hold it on. 

What else goes wrong with rudder shoes?
