JP3 Rudder Bearings Service

When a lower bearing is showing signs of leak or salt all around it
is often already too late. Soon it will leak really badly and the boat
 will have to be hauled out in emergency.
Rudder should be dropped and bearings serviced, seals replaced every 5-6 years.
Boat owners usually don't do it until it leaks.
It is then very hard to drop the rudder as the bearing is seized with corrosion.
There is then no other choice but to destroy it as it cannot
 be removed away from the rudder post 
and to replace it to a new one.
