Whitby seems to have made a number of variations on the rudder stock. Michael Grosh has donated these drawings dated 22 July 1969, which he says is similar to what's on his 1967 rudder. This drawing is also available in TIFF format.

John Johnson has contributed photos of his rudderpost repair on hull #69 which shows a somewhat different configuration.
On the newer boats, the rudder post has a Stuffing Box similar to the prop shaft. Working on these requires both

and Wrenches.
I use the same drip free packing here that I use on the prop shaft. As I recall, it uses a different sized wrench, though.

Cruising the Chesapeake: A Gunkholer's Guide 4th Edition
My favorite Chesapeake Bay guidebook. While it mentions marinas, it
concentrates on anchorages—the kind of places I prefer to spend
my time. And in addition to listing shore facilities, it rates each
location for Beauty/Interest and Protection. This is the guide you need
to really cruise the Chesapeake Bay—a smorgasbord of small creeks
and coves.
