<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face="Century Schoolbook" size=2>A couple of
questions. First, I have a new boat slip I have more boats around.
My other slip was on the outside of the marina and I never had any trouble
maneuvering because I had so much room. Now I have to be careful. My
question is how do you back an Alberg 30. I don't seem to have any control
as to which way it goes. I just go whichever way the boat goes until I can
put it in forward. Going in circles is a little embarrassing. Is
there a secret to this.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face="Century Schoolbook" size=2>Second question, which
I hope is not connected to the first, is about the rudder post or the cap that
fits the rudder to the tiller arm. There is a lot of play. I've
shimmed it up and that seems to work a bit. There are two holes in the cap
that face forward. It occurred to me today that they look like holes that
might have set screws to tighten the fitting over the rudder post. There
are no screws in the holes - there never has been. Could this be part of
my problem. If so, I would think this could be a dangerous
situation.</FONT></DIV>
