There are no washers between the rudder and the shoe. I added one that I 
made from delrin, but I don't think it makes any difference. The pin is a 
3/8" silicon bronze bolt with the head cut off after it is screwed into the 
rudder stock. I can't remember but I think it is 2" to 2-1/2" long. Someone 
else may want to comment on the length. The screws into the side of the shoe 
are 1/4"-20s about an inch long and are threaded directly into the 
fiberglass (somone should correct me on this if I am wrong on the bolt sizes 
as I am writing this all from memory) the best way to be sure is to remove 
them and go buy replacements (given differences in the boats). Everything is 
silicon bronze and should be available at most marine suppliers. Chesapeake 
Fastners in Annapolis carries them.

I broke the standoffs off of my stern ladder last year in a docking debacle.
Boat US has 9" standoffs in the catalog which I attached with great success.
Due to the curve of the transom I had to cut one to get the fit I desired.
They come complete with rubber bumpers and mounting hardware. At the price,
about $15.00. I can replace them should they not last.

I'm still looking for a response to my question regarding the rudder shoe 
and
Pintle/ gudgeon. Do the pintle and gudgeon have a washer between them or 
does
the weight of the rudder ride on the gudgeon with the shoe merely giving the
rudder a pivot point as well as side to side support.???? My rudder pin wore
to 1/4" and I have to replace it. Also would like to know the size of the 
pin
as well as the material. Where can I get a replacement? The screws which
comein from the port and starboard sides of the shoe. What size and material
are they? Does anyone have a source??
