LAUNCHING AND RIGGING
RUDDER AND TILLER
The tiller should be bolted to the rudder with the bolt and lock nut provided as
shown in Figure 1. The lock nut should be tightened so that the friction between
the fibreglass rudder head and the aluminium cheeks of the tiller is sufficient to
retain the tiller at any angle in the vertical plane. To facilitate the insertion of the
rudder pintles in the gudgeons on the transom, the bottom pintle is slightly longer
than the upper. This allows partial insertion of the bottom pintle without precisely
lining up the upper pintle with the upper gudgeon. After installation the rudder
retaining clip (87) (Figure 1) on the transom should be turned so as to prevent
inadvertent removal of the pintles by wave action. The bolt of the retaining clip
should be tightened periodically as necessary.
The rudder retaining clip (87) shown in Figure 1 is not installed on later models.
Instead, the top rudder pintle is drilled to accept a split pin, which is supplied with
the rudder. After the rudder is installed, insert the split pin and open slightly.
