<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Since you have to get a good 2 feet of rudder post
out of the hull in order to fully remove the rudder, it is necessary to remove
the prop and shaft (unless you have enough room to pull it into the engine
compartment a few inches). it is a lot easier to remove if you can get the
boat in some slings... ours was on jack stands and we had to dig an angled 3
foot hole under the keel... it wasn't fun!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Good luck,</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>To remove the rudder, do I need to remove the
propeller (which BTW is a 3 blade) or both the propeller AND the drive shaft
or (hopefully) neither ?</FONT></DIV>
