[Public-List] Rudder

[dickdurk at atlanticbb.net]

Sounds like mine. There are 4 bronze machine thread 
slotted flat head screws going through the 1" rudder post. 
They are faired with bondo or something similar. If you 
grind down to metal in the forward part of the stock, you 
will see circles of filler. Whack that out with a cold 
chisel, and you should see big screws.

You'll still have to remove the metal strap in the middle 
section of the rudder-that is also attached with machine 
screws. The pintle on that will need to be replaced 
probably. I use shanked bolts from Jamestown distributors 
(I think 3/8") and cut the head and the threads off.
