filled composite blade by hand lay-up connected to
an internal 316L stainless steel grid and rudder stock
structure. The rudder bearings are self lubricating
high tech needle type bearings with a double lip seal.
Ensure to inspect the free and smooth operation of
the rudder stock and bearings at regular intervals.
This Fig. (Fig 6.5)
gives you a look at
the rudder under
your boat.
Your steering
system is a very
important part of
your boat and very
important to your
boating safety.
However, all boat
operator’s should
be prepared for
rudder failure or
loss. That is why
Hunter Marine has
a backup rudder
system that can be
purchased for our
current models.
Other commercial
suppliers offer
similar systems at differing benefits and costs
and you
should conduct your own analysis to determine which
alternative is best for you.
CAUTION
! !
Because the backup system can also be lost an
operator must be able to sail without a rudder or oth-
erwise be prepared to assemble a makeshift rudder.
Important: Look to the Getting Underway Chapter (chapter 12)
for information about using your emergency tiller system. The
connections and use are detailed in that section.
The next Figure in this section will allow you to observe
the cross section illustration of the rudder installed on
your boat. This view also shows you the upper and
lower rudder bearings.

6.3 Seawater Intake
6.3.1 Pick Ups and Intakes
On the bottom of your boat, you will find pick ups and
intakes for the supply of raw water to your boat’s various
systems.
Shown in Fig. 6.7 is an example of three types of intakes.
These intakes are the “gravity fed” type, and the water
forced type. The forced type is fed by the velocity of sea-
water being forced through the intake by the boat speed.
These types are always positioned with the opening side
of the intake in the forward position. Gravity fed intakes
are the opposite.
