Boat rudder bearing
Tides Marine

Based on our patented Type D System, The Tides marine Rudder Port/Bearing Tube System is a self contained approach to rudder port design created for the FRP boat builder. Conceived as a "built-in" System, these ports are installed during initial lay-up for accurate and simple repeatability, providing a stronger, longer life bearing system. Contained within a sealed tube, the bearing assemblies come pre-aligned making rudder installation easier.

With minor mold modifications, the Tube System can relieve boat builders of several hours of post-lay-up installation time. Options have been designed to facilitate installations in a variety of hull configurations and complete staff training is part of every Tides Marine program.
