[Public-list] Rudder shoe pin.

Jonathan,

What year  or Hull# is your boat? That may affect the method for the rudder 
repairs.

Dear Listers,
                My recent survey shows a sloppy rudder pin at the shoe that 
will need replacing by next year. I would appreciate any info on the 
technique for removal and replacement of that pin. For those interested I 
installed a SOLE 26 HP Diesel into the boat this winter and it went very 
smoothly. I am quite happy to have removed the Bomb! The SOLE is a Spanish 
Marine conversion of a Mitsubishi. The dealer is right here in Victoria, BC. 
I looked at a number of options but this one was the best price for a new 
engine and the footprint is very close to the Atomic4. I had to build new 
engine beds and glass them in. I also raised the rear engine mounts 4 inches 
on steel plates to give me enough "meat" to bolt to on the Engine beds. I 
replaced all the lines, installed a new tank, filters, wet hose exhaust, 
waterlift, engine controls,etc. While I was at it I also replaced all the 
wiring to to everything(!) , and finally got around to installing a manual 
bilge Gusher pump that had been sitting on the boat uninstalled for three 
years, realising that I would look pretty foolish trying to install it in an 
emergency. Explain that one to the Insurance agent! Next year is the 
woodwork and Rudder hardware. I love the boat- she's a keeper for life. 
Regards Jonathan Whittingham.
