Rudder systems - 09/09/07 07:05 AM
Hi All
Just seeking opinions on rudder systems.
With the fibre tube system with the ss pins are they supposed to shear off when the ruddErs hit something or just bend.
If they shear off when sailing they obviously cant be replaced quickly.
If anyone is using a rope pull down and up system could you advise how that is set up and do you need shockcord in the line somewhere to relieve the impact shock when you do hit something.
All ideas appreciated.
