[Rhodes22-list] Walk-through stern rail Re: I just got my new old Rhodes

[Ellner]

Hi  everyone,

I missed seeing the "walkthru" picture of the stern rail. Would someone 
direct me to it.

I just replaced the IMF bottom bearing from the 1987 version to the 
newer version with the bearing sleeves.  It is a great improvement.  
Much easer to operate.

Thanks
Rod Ellner
