[Public-List] Rudder Shoe

[Jeffrey]

Yes Thanks Peter!

I too am in for one. I don't need one of the first since my boat will
be in the water for another month at least.  Next batch?

Question for everyone, I don't even have a pintle on my rudder.  Was
it just a bronze rod protruding from the bottom of the rudder? Does
the hole in the shoe go all the way through? The shoe does not "hole
up" the rudder..correct? Does it act as more then a rotational guide?
