Hey everyone
we are going on just over a year of ownership of our current boat - an 89 Tollycraft 53.
I am scheduling a haul out to get bottom paint done, and one of the items noted in survey to replace rudder seals that were weeping. Also pulling props for service at same time as rudders interfere w/ prop removal. I have contacted a yard to get this pulled and all done. most the quote seems very reasonable, but they list 14 hours to drop the rudders, replace seals and reinstall. this seems very excessive. am i missing something here? are they that time consuming? fairly good access inside to get to them. Maybe they have a high quote expecting one w/ issues getting to them... not sure. I just wanted to see what others who have done this before thought. thx!
