Bearing for boat steering system
Tides Marine

Tides Marine manufactures a wide variety of rudder bearings, rudder sleeves, rudder tubes and rudder ports (with and without seals). This product line provides builders, engineers, naval architects and repair facilities with solutions to most any problem they may encounter.

Most of these Rudder Bearing products are precision-machined from UHMW-PE, an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. UHMW is extremely durable, abrasion resistant and does not absorb water. It's coefficient of friction (when water-lubricated) approximates that of Teflon in these bearing products.

Tides Marine rudder bearings carry American Bureau of Shipping and Lloyds Register Type Approval.
