Hello all,

I dropped my old Grudgeon off at Port Townsend foundry yesterday.  They will be casting a new one using one of their existing patterns for $225, estimated cost.  seems like a great deal.  It's a very close fit as is.  Also I made a drawing of my original casting and will send it to George to post on the web site if any one is interested in the dimensions.  The Grudgeon is the split casting type that clamps around an exposed part of the rudder shaft.

Also, they have several very nice single and double anchor role stem head fitting patterns made up.  Iam thinking of replacing my stem head fitting with one do their castings so can have two anchor rollers available at bow.  Estimated cost for stem head around $500, maybe a bit more.  

All pieces are bronze.

Regards,
