Oct 23, Shaft diameter greater than mm, maximum mm (") A water lubricated synthetic shaft bearing for a shaft diameter of mm (24") has a maximum recommended clearance of mm, and an expected life of 20 years. 2. The jumping clearance is required to prevent damage to the steering gear, regardless of rudder type. STERN BUSH CLEARANCE / POKER GAUGE READINGS Examination of shaft seals and Confirmation that stern bush clearance / poker gauge readings recorded now and reflected in survey status are considered to be satisfactory.

GENERAL CONDITION. Nov 16, Special consideration shall be given to ascertaining rudder bearing clearances and stern bush clearances based on the operating history, on board testing and stern L.O.
