[Public-List] Rudder Romoval Problems

[Stephen s]

Mick,

 

Try placing some lubricant on the rudder post and slide it out of the boat, moving it back and forth will not help.  I removed the rudder from 114 in 1998 to replace the hardware and didn't run into this problem. I would think taking the rudder apart isn't the best approach.

> The rudder on hull on #231 is proving to be difficult to remove.  I have cut off the old pintles/gudgeons and removed the shoe.  I worked the rudder about 6 inches down the rudder post tube where it has become stuck.  I'm concerned that working the rudder from side to side will weaken it.  I attempted to put the rudder back to its original position but it does not want to move easily.

I read that it is possible to separate the top section of the rudder post presumably by removing the nuts buried on the trailing edege of the rudder.  However, in the manual it appears there are bronze straps secured to the rudder post internally which would preclude the separation of the rudder post.  With the rudder post separated things would be much easier.
