Rupp Outrigger Bushing Kit

The Rupp Outrigger Bushing Kit (MPN: CA-0032) is a dedicated maintenance solution for Rupp Marine outriggers subject to continuous salt-water and mechanical stress. This kit provides a complete set of Delrin replacement sleeves and bushings, restoring worn outrigger pairs to factory specifications and eliminating the play and binding that develops after extended use in marine environments.

Delrin (acetal copolymer) is the material standard for marine outrigger bushings due to its low friction, dimensional stability in saltwater exposure, and self-lubricating properties—critical for components that rotate under load and experience constant moisture. The kit contains enough components to service a complete pair of outriggers, eliminating the need to source individual sleeves or make mixed material repairs. Proper bushing replacement prevents lateral movement that can cause line tangles, reduce trolling accuracy, and accelerate bearing wear on the outrigger base.

This kit is essential for offshore charter boats, dedicated sport fishing operations, and serious recreational anglers running Rupp outrigger systems. Routine bushing replacement is standard maintenance on vessels where outriggers see daily deployment; delayed replacement allows corrosion and mechanical failure to spread to adjacent components, resulting in far costlier repairs. The Rupp Outrigger Bushing Kit addresses this predictable wear pattern with OEM-specification parts, ensuring compatibility and performance without guesswork or improvisation.

Rupp Marine is the established manufacturer for outrigger systems in the recreational and commercial fishing market. This replacement kit is designed specifically for their outrigger geometry and bushing diameters, making it the direct solution for maintaining Rupp-equipped vessels.
