SUN ODYSSEY 32.2 RUDDER REPAIR

[rucanito]

Hi I'm looking for drawings to be able to dismount and reassemble the rudder of a SO32.2. The whole rudder seems to be some millimeters out of place and would like to bring it back to it's place.

Thanks in advance!!

Without photos I am not sure the problem you are describing? maybe just the rudder bearings are shot?

Not the same model but these Hints and Tips may help:

If the problem is actually with the rudder construction itself sounds much more complex

I have had a look in my archive, but regret cannot find a drawing, surprisingly there is not even anything in the manual: 

anciensbateaux.jeanneau.fr/doc/proprietaire/manuelproprietaire_1_20120222_Manuel_ang_all_SunOdyssey322.pdf

Might be worth a phone call or perhaps email to the designer - they should have the rudder drawings

If you are able to take some photos - an upload them (see: jeanneau.proboards.com/thread/631/adding-image-post)  then I am sure some of the more technical guys here might be able to give you some ideas

Do keep us all informed how you get on

Wow MalcomP!!!

Thanks for your help!!! The first link from Hints and Tips could help me very much. The photos I see are quite similar to what I have seen in my boat.

I also have emailed Fauroux asking for help.

I will try to upload some potos

Thanks a lot!!
