Plug to disconnect when the boat is out of the water  

 

1.3.3 AMEL rudder 

 
The rudder blade is made out of fiberglass, reinforced with stainless steel plates. It is hollow 
and a hole has been drilled at the bottom to let the water go when the boat is hauled on the 
hard. The rudder blade is supported by three brackets or bushings. A zinc anode is mounted 
on each side. The skeg is fitted with two ground plates for radio uses (optional). 
The rudder stock through-hull is watertight using a stuffing-box which is serviceable from the 
aft cabin, under the berth.
