Posts: 1,304 Gulf Coast relocated from Cali... | That's that nice Nacra quality. I got some new rudder arms for my Nacra 20 and one was 4 inches longer than the other one! 4 inches! Christ, that's not just a little mistake. I measured them with my existing ones and luckily the longer one was the wrong size and just a simple cut was all that was needed. Do like Dave said and cut your tiller arms a little and re-drill.

Check that you are measuring the toe of the rudders at points front and back of the blades that are parallel to the water line because the rudders are canted

I'm usually strain a small rope or bungee under the crossbeam, and at the middle the distance between the line and crossbeam should be 5-10 mm (the half of the height of the nut)
