4.1.1
Description of the system
The rudder is a suspended, balanced hydrofoil midship rudder. It is operated
by hand from the steering post in the cockpit. Transmission of power goes
through a wire and chain system to the rudder quadrant. With the autopilot
(optional) there is an electromotor installed.
4.1.2
Rudder blade and rudder bearings
The rudder blade is profiled. It consists of a FRP body. The rudder post with a
diameter of 68 mm is made of stainless steel and is laminated into the blade.
The post runs in two easy-going and special rudder bearings. The rudder is
fixed by a mounting clip at the upper end of the post that also functions as a
rudder tiller placeholder.
The mounting clip is additionally secured with a straight stud bolt on the
rudder post.
NOTICE
CHECK REGULARLY AND REPAIR IF NECESSARY:
TIGHT HOLD OF THE MOUNTING CLIP ON THE
RUDDER POST.
The rudder bearings used by AD BOATS are self-setting bearings. Since rudder
bearings are subject to wear and tear, they should be inspected and
maintained regularly.
Replacing the liners requires a dismounting of the rudder blade:
∼
unscrew the lock-up screw cap (on top of the emergency tiller fitting),
∼
unscrew or bolt the rudder quadrant,
∼
pull off the rudder blade.
