[Rhodes22-list] Rudders-loss overboard

[Rob Lowe]

Elle,
Will do, but it's pretty  simple.  Mount your rudder (I put mine on before
launch).  Get a small metal hose clamp from an auto parts store (the kind
that you can screw and it tightens up) and slip it over the pintle then
tighten away.  The added clamp is too large to pass through the gudgeon.  I
suppose you could use two, but I just use one on the lower pintle. - rob
